Withdrawal of JCT 98

The JCT 98 form of contract is to be withdrawn from publication in the Spring, when publisher Sweet & Maxwell will no longer make print copies available and withdraw stock from bookshops.

.JCT stopped supporting the 98 contacts in 2007 as they have been superseded by the JCT 2005 suite.

Copies of the 98 contracts will still be available from Sweet & Maxwell via its document delivery service, but watermarked as outdated. Similarly, copies will be available through the JCT Contracts Digital Services, but watermarked as archive.
