Given its readability and perceptiveness, Eggleston can be thoroughly recommended to all construction professionals.' - Paul Newman, Construction Law 'A very useful and helpful guide.' - Fiona Hammond, Legal Advisor, BAA plc 'Brian Eggleston's books are always good. This one is unique, as the only analysis on this contract that is both detailed and fair. The light it shines is startlingly revealing.' - Robert Fenwick Elliott, Fenwick Elliott, Solicitors 'Those who pride themselves on a comprehensive law library will buy this book straightaway.
