Construction law is complex and multi-faceted. While it draws on questions of law familiar to most practitioners, such as those relating to contracts and torts, it is a varied area that involves a host of specialized issues and a myriad of unique challenges.
Halsbury's Construction (2021 Reissue) provides practitioners with the basic guidance that they will need to understand the fundamentals of the legal principles, issues and questions that arise in the course of building projects, especially those questions that fall outside their own fields of experience. Drawing on the expertise of Glaholt Bowles LLP – one of Canada's leading and most respected construction law firms – this important title is an essential reference for anyone seeking guidance on the legal framework governing construction activity in Canada.
