Nothing so practical as a good prevention principle: lessons from the prevention principle in construction law.

Christie, David

Abstract

The so called "prevention principle" in contract law operates differently in construction contracts compared with the wider law. This paper examines the prevention principle in construction law and within the wider developments of English contract law and its theoretical context. The Australian approach is also used as a helpful comparator.
