FIDIC Matrix Contracts Course, Budapest, 27-28 November 2013
The course begins by introducing FIDIC and the FIDIC suite of contracts, including latest developments. We put the Construction and Plant & Design-build forms in context, identifying the distinctive aims and structure of each Book. We follow with a detailed consideration of the main clauses of the two Books, covering such key issues as the role of the Engineer, the contract price, measurement and evaluation and testing.
Other topics to be covered include practical points about drafting particular conditions and the need to co-ordinate them with the general conditions; progress and programme - importance and requirements; delays and extensions of time; delay damages – penalties and liquidated damages; performance securities; plant, materials and workmanship; taking over; defects liability; variations, adjustments and payment; termination and suspension; allocation of specific risks; force majeure - meaning and effect of force majeure events; contractor’s and employer’s claims, including the sub- clause 20.1 time bar.
We also consider how the contracts provide for resolving disputes: the DAB process, amicable settlement and arbitration, including the different arbitration institutions and how arbitration awards might be enforced. Throughout the two days there will be ample opportunity to discuss and debate the material covered, aided by case studies, and active participation will be encouraged.
