Many of the problems which arise as a building contract progresses result from inadequate documentation or a failure to give the correct written notice in time. This is particularly so with the complex procedures required under a number of the JCT forms of contract. This book, which provides a set of specimen letters, notices and forms for use with JCT 80, NSC/4 and 4a, DOM/1 and IFC 84, has been updated to take account of the numerous contract amendments issued by the JCT since the last edition, as well as the increasing number of court decisions on JCT 80 and related contracts. It also makes reference to the JCT Minor Works Agreement.

Black the Night and Wild the Sea

Black the Night and Wild the Sea is a story of adventure and intrigue set in the turbulent era of the Australian gold rushes. It is also a love story between two very different characters: Michael Byrnes, a warm hearted but roguish Irish adventurer, and Sele Kanawa, a beautiful and passionate Eurasian missionary. The story ranges from the wild southern coast of Australia to the jungles of the Cape York Peninsula and the wild unexplored islands of Melanesia, where brutal sea captains abducted natives to work as virtual slave labourers, and missionaries risked their lives to stop them. It is also a tale of a woman torn between her love for God and the work she feels called to do, and her love for a man determined to make his fortune. Vincent Smith grew up in an industrial town in England and moved to Australia when he was sixteen. It was then that he fell under the spell of the islands of the South West Pacific and their turbulent history. For the past half century he has served as a minister and chaplain to the Australian army, police and emergency services; some of it in the places where this story is set
