The Minor Works Contract is the most widely used of the JCT forms
of contract, not only for simple, short contracts of moderate
price, for which it is intended, but also for much larger projects
for which it is often not suited at all. As a result, contractual
difficulties can arise, and despite the form's simplicity an
understanding of the legal background to the form is essential.
This book explains the practical applications of the form from the
point of view of the employer, architect and contractor. It
provides a straightforward explanation of the legal aspects of the
form supported by flow charts, tables and sample letters.
The fourth edition has been substantially revised to take account
of the revised 2005 contract for minor works (MW), as well as the
completely new form catering for those instances when the
contractor undertakes some design work as well as construction
(MWD).
There is some new terminology in the contracts and the clauses have
been substantially reorganised and reworded. Contract particulars
and schedules have been added. Account has been taken of some 30
new cases and of the 2004 editions of the RIBA terms of
engagement.
