Details

The FIDIC Conditions of Contract and Domestic Construction Law is a book furnishing a comprehensive country-by-country description and analysis of how domestic construction law impacts FIDIC contracts. Parties to an international construction contract often use the standardized set of contract terms published by the International Federation of Consulting Engineers, known as the FIDIC Conditions. However, FIDIC terms apply within the boundaries of domestic law, which not only governs the formation, interpretation, and validity of FIDIC contracts but also fills gaps and shapes the expectations of the respective parties or decision-makers in disputes. Thus, parties and their counsel must be thoroughly informed of the same.

Seeking to mitigate the risk of disputes—and detailing how to proceed when a dispute arises—and with abundant reference to case law, contributions by eminent practitioners and academics in each country examine the following issues and topics:

cultural and legal differences between business actors
how domestic law determines the formation, interpretation and validity of FIDIC contracts
how domestic law can be used to fill gaps and complement the FIDIC Conditions
drafting particular conditions of contract

A deep understanding of how FIDIC terms interact with domestic law assists parties to assess their obligations during the contract’s performance and resolve disputes globally. Correspondingly, this systematic analysis of the interplay between the FIDIC Conditions and domestic construction law in numerous jurisdictions worldwide will prove to be invaluable to international construction firms, in-house counsel, and construction law professionals.
