Synopsis

The Agreement for Minor Building Works (MW 80) is the most widely used of the JCT forms of contract, not only for the simple, short contracts of moderate price for which it is intended, but also for much larger projects for which it is often unsuitable. As a result, contractual difficulties can arise, and despite the form′s simplicity an understanding of the legal background to the form is essential. This book explains the practical applications of the form from the point of view of employer, architect and contractor. It provides a straightforward explanation of the legal aspects of the form supported by many flow charts, tables and sample letters. The second edition has been substantially revised to include all JCT Amendments up to Amendment No. MW 11, the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, the Arbitration Act 1996, the CDM Regulations and a substantial number of new cases.
