Welcome to the 26th issue of BuildLaw® in which we draw on the experience and expertise of leading experts in the field to bring you commentary, articles and reviews on topical matters relating to construction law. In this issue we feature recent and imminent changes to the Construction Contracts Act – consultants included as from 1 September 2016 and a new statutory trust model for retentions comes into force on 31 March 2017. We also look at the ‘Cinderella of law’ - unjust enrichment, dispute boards in Brazil, the Society of Construction Law’s new take on the Delay and Disruption Protocol; and more. In ‘Case in Brief’, Sarah Redding discusses two recent decisions of the Australian and UK Courts, and the different approaches taken in each jurisdiction to the relationship between parties’ contractual termination obligations and the common law right to terminate for repudiatory breach. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all our contributors. We are most grateful for the support we receive from dispute resolution professional, law firms, and publishers, locally and overseas, that allows us to share with you papers and articles of a world class standard, and to bring you a broad perspective on the law and evolving trends in the delivery and practice of domestic and international dispute resolution and construction law. Contributions of articles, papers and commentary for future issues of Buildlaw® are always welcome. I do hope you find this issue interesting and useful. Please feel free to distribute BuildLaw® to your friends and colleagues – they are most welcome to contact us if they wish to receive our publications directly. Wishing you all a safe and enjoyable holiday season and a successful and prosperous New Year from all of us at BDT. Warmest regards,
