International Construction Contracts and Arbitration
Last Updated Date:   4 July 2024


5 Units,  Semester 1

Course Description:
International construction contracts have by their nature special features, which affect the methods of resolving disputes arising from them. The course reviews terms and clauses of standard forms of international construction contracts (FIDIC Conditions), to explain how risks (inherent in all construction contracts) are typically allocated between parties; and what rights and remedies are available to parties when risks materialise. Further, the course examines how disputes arising from construction contracts are resolved through arbitration especially arbitrations conducted under the Rules of International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) which are included in the principal standard forms of contract (FIDIC).
