Book Summary

Numerous books have been written on construction law, but very few focus entirely on engineering law in Scotland. Yet there are very separate and distinct features of Scots law, which affect all those who work in and with the engineering industry in Scotland.

Scottish Engineering Contracts has been specifically written to re-address this imbalance. It provides ? in one concise, practical volume ? a basic guide to the principles of Scots law as they relate to engineering contracts and day to day operations and practices.
