Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years ago, there were 2500 lawyers in China, basically no legal system, and law schools and law libraries had either been closed or destroyed. It was one of the poorest countries in the world with an adult literacy rate of one-third. Today, illiteracy has dropped to below 10 per cent, consumption has more than doubled, and China has exploded as a major economic force in the global community, with the USA alone investing billions of dollars, aside from pursuing an increasing number of untapped markets. Now with more than 100,000 lawyers and mandated Rule of Law, China has enacted a multitude of new laws, regulations, and orders that must be understood if one wants to do any kind of foreign investment or trade in that country. This work is a guide to the complex laws of China. It opens with a survey of the historical development of China's contemporary legal system, and provides a summary of Chinese legislative and regulatory institutions and their functions. It also gives an overview of the judiciary and the many forces affecting China's evolving legal system.

Download or read book Liability in Construction Management written by David M. Lee and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceedings of a symposium at the ASCE National Convention, held in Houston, Texas, October 17-23, 1983. Sponsored by the Construction Division of ASCE. This collection contains eight papers on liability issues related to professional construction management. The concept of professional construction management has emerged and developed over the past decade in response to pressures for faster and more economical project completions. This has been accompanied by increasing liability for professional construction management practitioners as well. In addition, various construction management techniques--such as network-based scheduling, cost engineering, and documentation procedures--have been extensively used to pursue or deny construction claims within the legal system. The forensic application of these construction management tools has resulted from the avalanche of litigation engulfing the construction industry. The papers address liability issues in construction management and include a legal profile of the construction manager, the construction manager's liability to the client and other parties, and professional liability coverage for the construction manager.

Book excerpt: In international construction, most constructional projects require the input of a number of professionals, each of whom have a different role to play in the process, from design to construction, thereby each professional has a duty of skill and care. Also, the process necessarily involves the input of non-professionals (such as building contractors), each of whom will have an important role to play in getting the building project from design stage through procurement, construction to completion of the finished project. At each and every stage of the process, there is a risk that something may go wrong, as a result of the negligence of one or more of those involved, leading to financial loss and the burden of putting the damage right.
