Construction Law In Zambia - Paperback

by Cross Silwamba (Author), Joseph Chirwa (Author)

This book is an attempt to bring to the fore salient issues surrounding the construction industry as it relates to architects, engineers, contractors, planners and surveyors among other allied professionals. This has been done in such a manner that case law and legislation have been dissected and explained for the assimilation of both non-lawyers and lawyers alike in what would be called a "crash course". The book has covered salient topics of interest to these professions such as the following:

• Legal environment of construction law
• Institutional framework of construction law
• Professional conduct and ethics
• Alternative dispute resolution
• Employment and labour relations
• Occupational health and safety
• Business associations
• Contract, criminal and tortious liability
• Commercial transactions
• Intellectual property
• Insurance
• Property relations
• Securities law
