Fidic

In this unique guide to the suite of contracts published by the the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC), 22 authorities of construction law from a wide variety of countries describe likely pitfalls (and opportunities) for foreign lawyers in each of their jurisdictions. Ideal for in-house counsel who must evaluate the legal disposition of a proposed or pending construction contract subject to laws of a foreign jurisdiction.

The treatment covers such topics as:
- allocation of risk;
- the FIDIC flow chart for settling disputes;
- post-completion responsibility of the parties;
- disputes relating to non-contractual claims;
- allegations of fraud or gross negligence;
- dealing with bribery and extortion;
- delay and disruption;
- proving entitlement to extension of time;
- right to deduct liquidated damages;
- changed conditions;
- rights of subcontractors and suppliers; and
- unforeseeability.
