Construction Law

Construction, by its nature, brings unexpected problems which may result in delays to a project and additional costs. The speedy resolution of claims and disputes arising from such problems has become a major focus of contractual relationships. Dispute boards are playing an ever-increasing role in this process by acting as an independent tribunal to help with avoidance or speedy resolution of claims or disputes.

This book outlines the various contract procedures which require or permit the use of dispute boards. It gives a detailed explanation of the interpretation and application of each requirement, both practical and legal/contractual, while referring to the international conditions of contract published by FIDIC as well as to other published procedures where relevant.
