Fair play to relational contracting

By Tony Bingham2020-05-22T06:00:00

Good faith is becoming a central tenet of construction law, as highlighted in two recent publications

The third edition of Julian Bailey’s book Construction Law is just out, and it is superb. More about that in a moment. My other recommendation is a 19-page paper from the Society of Construction Law (£3 from the society’s website), “Good faith and Relational Contracting”. The joint authors are Shy Jackson of Pinsent Masons and Professor David Mosey, director of King’s College London’s Centre of Construction Law and Dispute Resolution.

I will come to relational contracting shortly. But first, this topic of good faith, which has been gently nudging its way to centre stage in construction contracts for a while. Watch out.
