Residential Construction Law, 2nd Edition

Philip Britton and Matthew Bell have accumulated decades of research and teaching, culminating in this authoritative book… This book is powerful rebuttal to any denial that there is something wrong in this area, both in the UK and elsewhere. * David Sawtell, Housing After Grenfell Blog *
A landmark book that will serve well the needs of anyone involved in this neglected area of law. The authors are to be congratulated on their fine achievement. * Julian Bailey, White & Case LLP, International Construction Law Review *
This is an immensely readable and authoritative text on residential construction law. It is extremely well written and has genuine inquiry and the desire to address the heart of the matter as its lodestone. The levels of analysis and the thorough way no stone is left unturned are a real credit … A heady mix. * Construction Law Journal *
This book is an excellent analysis of residential construction law in a multitude of jurisdictions… I would recommend this as a very important and well researched analysis of the history of construction law, the current status of construction law and where it may be heading. * Kelvin Oldridge, BDPS News *
This much-needed and excellent book fills a real gap in the residential construction field. It is a practical, comprehensive guide, packed with highly authoritative analysis and all presented in a most readable form. One of the book’s main strengths is that it takes a comparative approach, discussing problems and remedies in Ireland, New Zealand, the different states in Australia and in each of the three main jurisdictions within the UK. * Her Honour Frances Kirkham CBE, Chartered Arbitrator, Adjudicator and Mediator, Atkin Chambers, UK *
It is a breath of fresh air to have a book devoted entirely to the oft neglected area of residential building… this book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in residential building work… Britton and Bell have [provided] the data and analysis that is the bedrock of any evidence-based reforms. * Paula Gerber, Building and Construction Law Journal *
The book is a worthy addition to the library of all building lawyers and vital for all who teach building law. Those concerned with building law policy should, perhaps, sleep with a copy under their pillow. * Australian Construction Law Newsletter *
