Summary of membership benefits
for 'overseas e-members'

Overseas e-members (who must be resident outside the UK and Ireland) may attend the Society's events on the same terms as non-members. This will usually involve the payment of a small fee. See our events page for upcoming events.

You will be emailed a copy of every SCL paper that is published after the date that you join. See our papers page for the full list to date.

You may download online papers free, while there is a charge for non members. We may also be introducing other members-only benefits on the site.

You will be emailed each monthly newsletter after the date that you join. See our news page for archived newsletters.

You will be listed in our annual Membership Directory (if you wish) but a hard copy of the Directory will NOT be posted to you.

If you visit the UK, you have free use of the library at the Centre of Construction Law, King's College London in the Strand, London.

Please note that these benefits apply to members of SCL UK only, and not to members of our sister Societies.

More information, including full details about the Society, are available on our about page.

The annual subscription is £15, payable in January each year. There is also an additional initial joining fee of £25. Your first year's subscription covers the period up to 31st December of the year in which you join the Society. For applications approved after 30 September, the subscription will be deemed to cover the remainder of that year and the entire following calendar year.

For Overseas E-Membership:

• You must satisfy the usual conditions for membership: you must be interested and professionally involved in construction law.
• 'Overseas' is defined as residence outside the UK and Ireland. You must be or expect to be resident overseas at the commencement of your period of membership.
• You must give details of your normal place of residence, which must be overseas.
• If you move back to the UK, you may remain an overseas member for the remainder of that calendar year, but must then renew as a full member for the following year if you wish to continue your membership.
• Once you become an overseas member SCL will not direct any post to a UK address.
• Application and all payments can only be made via the Society’s web shop (and not by post). Invoices (including renewal invoices) and hard-copy receipts will not be issued.
• You must provide a personal email address. Email addresses such as ‘mail@….’ or ‘info@….’ are not acceptable.
• You must undertake to keep your registered email address up to date. If SCL receives two notifications of failed delivery, you will cease to be sent email transmissions.
• If you are a full member and are transfered overseas, no rebate is available on your current year's membership. However, you may transfer to overseas membership at the start of the new subscription year, provided that you continue to reside overseas.

As part of your application, you will need to pay the joining fee and first year's subscription in advance. They will both be refunded in full in the unlikely event that your application is rejected.
