Delay and Disruption in Construction Contracts (Second Edition) by Keith Pickavance. LLP Publishing Limited; 773 pages; £150.

The first edition of Delay and Disruption in Construction Contracts was reviewed in CILL, June 1998, p1396. This book remains the most comprehensive English work dedicated to delay, disruption and related issues and remains the leader in its field. The second edition considers in detail the implications of recent cases such as Henry Boot Constructions (UK) Limited v Mal Maision Hotel (Manchester) Limited and Ascon Contracting Limited v Alfred McAlpine Construction (Isle of Man) Limited . Further, the second edition is significantly expanded with a number of additional chapters. Of particular interest and importance are the separate chapters on disruption and the use of computers for the presentation of claims.
