This book has therefore been written to explain the latest edition of the contract, NEC 3, by comparing it to the better known JCT Standard Building Contract, JCT 2005, highlighting the similarities and differences, using a topic based approach. The book explains the key differences between the two contracts in a highly practical manner and relates relevant case law to NEC 3 to provide a reasoned analysis of the terms.
