The International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) has issued a number of standard forms of contract for use on construction and engineering projects.
With pleasure BUiD welcomes Prof. Nael Bunni back to deliver a second expert lecture on FIDIC. For those who attended last year, this will be an interesting update. As for the new guests, they will have a thorough introduction.
This special presentation on "Dispute Resolution Mechanisms under the FIDIC Conditions of Contract" has been prepared to offer a complete up-to-date review of the effective understanding and use of the relevant Clauses within the FIDIC suite of Contracts. It will touch upon the following topics
- Pre 1999 – Clause 67;
- Post 1999 – Clause 20;
- An in-depth analysis of each Sub-Clause contained therein – what it says, what it means and what result should be derived from it;
- The Gap within Sub-Clause 20.7 of the 1999 Forms of Contract;
- Rectification of the Gap within Sub-Clause 20.7; and
- The future of Clause 20 of the FIDIC Conditions of Contract
