    Course description:

    This course is about legal & governance aspects of the construction process, especially the institutional legal & framework settings concerning the major players and the main interests concerned.

    Legal aspects mainly rest in limitations and possibilities created by the legal system, as a context for interactions within and across the public and the private sector boundaries, during the complete life-cycle of the construction process. The relevant legal and institutional frameworks and their underpinnings will be explained and analysed and put into the perspective of ‘real-life’ problems. Insight into legal reasoning, as a specific methodology, will be practised through the use of legal literature and jurisprudence.

    The main course topics will deal with both public and private law. The place and position of the future graduate in the construction process will serve as a guideline in the selection of these topics.
