520 _aLooks at some of the most important issues governing the global harmonisation of construction contract laws. Discusses its need, especially as more countries are entering into cross-border transactions. Looks at European efforts to standardise these laws and the difficulties which have emerged. Finally considers the two main areas of contract law, good faith and liquidated and ascertained damages. Concludes they must be given priority when a global or regional uniform contract law is enacted.
