"I am among the many who consider Julian Bailey's three-volume work entitled Construction Law as a hugely interesting and valuable contribution to the literature in this area of law. It is surely destined to become a standard text both in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, which will prove invaluable to both practitioners and students alike. Indeed, in the foreword, Rupert Jackson no less described the book as a "tour de force", a description with which I agree wholeheartedly." Dominic Helps, Corbett & Co International Construction Lawyers Ltd "This is a remarkable work of encyclopaedic proportions. No doubt, Julian Bailey-its single author-has performed a Herculean task in producing this three-volume magisterial work on construction law... I have been looking for a long time for a reliable work on construction law that could support me in my own construction arbitration practice in the Gulf and the wider Middle East and I am pleased to say that I have found one in the present new work by Julian Bailey... Any construction practitioner is lucky to have a copy of this work of all works on construction law!" Gordon Blanke, Habib Al Mulla & Company "If I said "wow" once, I said it three times. Construction Law, by Julian Bailey is a massively welcome, jaw-dropping endeavour of 2,000 pages over three volumes. The foreword by Court of Appeal judge Sir Rupert Jackson is worth repeating: "This is no ordinary or pedestrian book on 'building contract law'. It is a tour de force." He predicts it will quickly become a standard work of reference for busy practitioners... [Bailey's] experience in both Australia and England has added enormously to this book and elevated it to a very special level. The big advantage here is that the everyday experiences of building buildings in Perth or Melbourne is almost identical to the highs and lows in Shepherd's Bush or Aberystwyth ... the respect that the two legal systems command is a gold mine for the canny practitioner who might, just might, spot an angle developed 11,000 miles away about a building dispute that gives him an edge." Tony Bingham, 'Building' Magazine "...from time to time a work comes along in a specialist field which is... clearly needed. ... The author has been for some time an English solicitor... he previously practised in Australia and as a consequence he took the decision to cover Australian law as well as English law, and in equal depth. It contains much not to be found in other works for practitioners in this field to mine" the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn "Construction Law is a monumental work in its scope, its depth and its encyclopaedic review of a vast body of case law. It is a work which all construction lawyers should possess." Building and Construction Law "Construction Law is an extremely useful point of reference for any practitioner regularly dealing with issues arising on construction projects in England, Wales and Australia. Given the scope of the book, there is unlikely to be an issue on which it will not provide some assistance ..." Andrew Croft, Beale and Company Solicitors "The utility of this work for practitioners is made all the more effective by the approach adopted by the author. The principles of construction law are stated in the body of the text with the authorities, texts and articles largely consigned to the footnotes. Accordingly, the practitioner has a spring board to delve more deeply into the detail if required. In time, it is to be expected that this book will become a standard work of reference for practitioners in construction law. It is a valuable addition to any construction law library."
