It deals with relevant points of general law and discusses clauses of the new contract and any difficulties which may arise. The second edition includes the five amendments issued by the JCT, including substantial changes to the insurance provisions, recent developments in case law, including cases on nomination and how they affect naming, changes in VAT and the JCT arbitration rules.
