Excerpt from Instructions to Locating Engineers and Field Parties These instructions were originally prepared by the Author for the use of Field parties working under his direction in the United States, afterwards modified for use in South America, and finally prepared in the present form for use in China. At the suggestion of some who have used them, this last printing was amplified so that copies might be available for the general use of engineers. They are, as will be seen, intended to secure uniform practice in making surveys and in the compilation of the results in the form of maps, estimates, etc., and are intended to be issued by Chief Engineers to their subordinates in the field. As conditions vary so much even within the confines of the United States and much more so of course in different foreign countries, modifications, in the form of special instructions will be required to meet local conditions, though the general conditions to be complied with remain the same. Provision is therefore made for the necessary flexibility in this respect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This collection marks the 150th anniversary of the Technology and Construction Court by presenting insights into its history and impact. The contributors are current and retired senior judges, renowned academics and leading construction and technology lawyers. The book draws on their different perspectives and approaches to showcase different aspects of the Official Referees and the TCC from its origins in the Judicature Act 1873 through to its modern-day role as an international leader in dispute resolution through litigation, arbitration and adjudication. Different essays consider the role of the TCC in procedural reform and the digital transformation of dispute resolution, building safety, and how it has impacted on doctrinal English law. The book also explores the lives and impact of notable Official Referees and TCC judges from the senior judiciary's perspective, with contributions by Lord Dyson on the transition from the Official Referees to the TCC, Sir Rupert Jackson on the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, Dame Finola O'Farrell on the TCC today, Sir Peter Coulson on Sir Brett Cloutman QC (a Senior Referee who was awarded a Victoria Cross) and Her Honour Frances Kirkham on the court's role in the regions. The creation of a specialist dispute resolution forum for complicated engineering, construction and technological disputes is a foundational milestone in the legal history of construction law in England and Wales. This collection offers a unique insight from the judiciary, practising lawyers and academics into the significance and development of the court.
