Synopsis

This book provides a practical tool for all those using the JCT Intermediate Form of Contract (IFC 98). It deals with the form under topics, considering the roles of the various parties and important matters such as payment claims, determination and dispute resolution.

Legal language has been avoided in favour of simple explanations of legal concepts, supported by flowcharts, tables and sample letters.

The Second Edition is a major revision and takes into account a substantial number of new legal cases and relevant legislation, including the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, the Arbitration Act 1996 and the CDM Regulations.

The book is based on the 1998 edition of the Intermediate Form and includes the substantial number of amendments issued by the JCT since the form was first published in 1984.
