Is the Construction Industry Waving or Drowning? – John Uff CBE QC

Date: 11 May 2017

John Uff CBE QC‘s talk from the King’s College Construction Law Association Sweet & Maxwell 20th annual lecture on 11th May 2017 is now available from the Society of Construction Law.

In his review of the state of the UK construction industry since the formation of the Centre of Construction Law in 1997, John Uff asks two questions: ‘Why should the Centre have any concern for the construction industry?’ and ‘What is wrong with the construction industry anyway?’ In answering the second question, he looks at the series of commissions and enquiries which have looked at the difficulties the industry faces and attempted to find solutions. In answering the first question, he looks at the part the Centre has played, and continues to play, in research and the drafting of standard forms of contract.
