Now in its second edition, Construction Law is the standard work of reference for busy construction law practitioners, and it will support lawyers in their contentious and non-contentious practices worldwide.
Published in three volumes, it is the most comprehensive text on this subject, and provides a unique and invaluable comparative, multi-jurisdictional approach.
This book has been described by Lord Justice Jackson as a "tour de force", and by His Honour Humphrey LLoyd QC as "seminal" and "definitive". This new edition builds on that strong foundation and has been fully updated to include extensive references to very latest case law, as well as changes to statutes and regulations.
The laws of Hong Kong and Singapore are also now covered in detail, in addition to those of England and Australia. Practitioners, as well as interested academics and post-graduate students, will all find this book to be an invaluable guide to the many facets of construction law.

"A tour de force [which] provides a lucid comparative study of English and Australian construction law. It is logically structured, written with clarity and geared to the needs of practitioners in the 21st century ... When the quality of this work comes to be appreciated ... it will become a standard work of reference for busy practitioners across England, Wales and Australia."
- Foreword, Lord Justice Jackson
"Construction Law is indeed a monumental work in its scope, its depth and its encyclopaedic review of a vast body of case law. The author of this work is to be commended for his outstanding contribution to legal literature in this field...Nonetheless, the author provides a thorough examination and helpfully includes a review of issues of particular relevance to construction contracts."
- Reviewed by Michael Christie SC, Australian Construction Law Bulletin
"Possibly the single most important feature of the book is that it provides a comparative analysis of construction law as it applies in England and Wales and in Australia as at 15 April 2011. This feature is an unquestionable strength. As the author points out, authorities in one country provide useful and often persuasive guidance on the resolution of identical or cognate legal issues in the other...In time, it is to be expected that this book will become a standard work of reference for practitioners in construction law. It is a valuable addition to any construction law library."
-Reviewed by Jos Mulcahy, Building and Construction Law Journal review
"If I said, "wow" once, I said it three times.Construction Law, by Julian Bailey...is a massively welcome, jaw-dropping endeavour of 2,000 pages over three volumes."
