Excerpt from Building Cases: Being a Digest of Reported Decisions Affecting Architects, Surveyors, Builders, and Building-Owners In preparing this Digest of Reported Decisions affecting Architects, Surveyors, Builders, and Building-Owners, and with a view to making it as comprehensive as possible, I have included all decided cases of importance up to date, whether reported in the Law Reports or elsewhere. Among them will be found some decisions which have been overruled by subsequent judgments of the High Court, because, although they can no longer be relied on in courts of justice, they frequently furnish valuable assistance to those whose duty it is to advise parties as to their legal position. The cases will be found arranged as far as possible in alphabetical order of the subjects dealt with, but a rigid classification has not been attempted, because frequently more than one subject is adjudicated upon in a particular case. In order, therefore, to obviate the necessity for such classification, I have prepared, at the cost of no little labour, an exhaustive index, which I believe will be of considerable assistance to those who shall have occasion to refer to the book. A Form of Agreement and Schedule of Conditions for Building Contracts, The Professional Practice as to the Charges of Architects, approved by the Royal Institute of British Architects, together with Bydc s Scale of Surveyors' Fees, will be found in the Appendix. I venture to express the hope that this work will prove useful not only to members of both branches of the legal profession and to the parties whose rights and liabilities are therein defined, but also to the large body of officials who are engaged in the administration of local government throughout the country.
