This Module 2 training course will bring you the necessary detailed knowledge and insights as to the claim management and dispute resolution provisions under the FIDIC Conditions of Contract, 1999 Edition. Although focused on the 1999 Edition of the FIDIC Red & Yellow Book Contracts, the course will also present the main features of the 2017 Edition of those forms, and the main changes brought by this recent update to the 1999 Edition, as far as relevant to the topics covered under the course

It covers the identification of project risks, their allocation, and the various causes of claim which can emerge over a construction contract and the way FIDIC addresses those. It details the way to handle claims – preparation, submission, assessment, determination under FIDIC Contracts, and how disputes are prevented or otherwise resolved. The course will incorporate a large portion of actual project experiences feedback, as well as a presentation of relevant recent authorities on such matters (case law in particular). Various case studies / work exercises will be proposed to participants so as to facilitate capacity building through hands-on applications and extensive interaction with the tutor and the other participants.
