Living with the others - 2005 - Building 270(8364) 52-53(2) .
Discusses Hibberd's paper to the Society of Construction Law, "The place of standard forms of building contract in the 21st century". Notes that Hibberd rejects the view expressed by John Egan in "Rethinking construction'"which questions whether the standard form of contract should be used at all. Argues that a soundly based written contract can be crucial in the avoidance of disputes but that not many professionals use the JCT contracts properly with little use made of mechanisms such as extensions of time. Comments that the future of JCT style documents is good but it is time for the standard forms to be produced in a way that more people can understand.
