Coulson on Construction Adjudication 3rd ed

Sir Peter Coulson's book on Construction Adjudication was the first to deal comprehensively with the law and practice of adjudication in construction and engineering disputes and is now firmly established as the leading authority in the field.

It also includes full consideration of the impact of the coming into force of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009.
