Complete textbook on construction, real estate, and property management law with extensive coverage of specialist areas of the built environment
Law and the Built Environment is a core textbook for all students undertaking compulsory law modules in construction, real estate, and property management programs of study. Key principles of English law are placed in their relevant professional context and clearly explained. The book also covers specialist areas of built environment professional practice such as health and safety, rent review, dilapidations, and lease renewals.
This Second Edition has been revised and updated by practicing lawyers and lecturers with many years of teaching experience in their areas of expertise. The text has been substantially rewritten to bring all chapters up to date. New chapters cover civil procedures for anti-social behavior, construction law practice, and alternative dispute resolution. Other chapters with significant updates include those pertaining to construction payment, negligence and nuisance, ownership and co-ownership of land, third party rights in land, removal of tenants’ fixtures as a landlord, and water pollution and contaminated land in the public domain.
Law and the Built Environment provides in-depth information on:
- Law of contract, covering representations, terms, agreements, considerations, illegality, and contract conclusions
- Public law, covering substantive and procedural grounds, time limits, prerogative remedies, injunction, and building control process and body
- Dispute resolutions, covering causes of disputes, pre-action protocols, costs, enforcement and appeals, and pros and cons of litigation
- Law of torts, covering occupier liability, lawful visitors, trespassers, defamation, and the Latent Damage Act of 1986
Law and the Built Environment is an excellent resource on the subject that caters primarily to students studying built environment subjects at the bachelor’s level. It is also highly suitable for students at the HNC and HND levels, those undertaking professional examinations, and as introductory reading for master’s students.
