refer~ces for use by lawyers. ~ e increase in length of this third edition of the book is due to the inclusion of a detailed commentary on the new 5th edition of the I.C.E. forms-the first such ccame~tary to be published. The treatment of nominated sub-contracting and insurance is also expanded, end a new chapter has been added on 'Tendermanship and Claimsmanship'. There is a useful key summsrising the 4th end 5th I.C.E. editions and the rights and duties of the engineer and contractor under them.
