"FIDIC: an overview - The latest developments, comparisons, claims and force majeure"

11 September 2007      

Jeremy Glover, in a paper given at the Construction Law Summer School 2007, held at Queen's College Cambridge, provides an over-view on the history and development of the FIDIC form of contract. The paper then goes on the review the different ways in which the employer and contractor are treated when it comes to making claims. This section includes a brief discussion on the different approaches under the civil codes and common law jurisdictions, which leads to a short comment about the treatment of force majeure.
