International Contracts Training Course

The Practical Management of Contract Claims
and the Resolution of Disputes”
under the 1999 FIDIC Contract Conditions (Construction / Design-Build)
and MDBs’ Harmonised Construction Contract
 OVERVIEW
With all FIDIC contracts there will be claims. This training course is designed to provide practical assistance
to those working with the New FIDIC Contract Conditions (1999 Editions) in the management of claims and
achieving resolution to claims and in particular the workings of the Dispute Adjudication Board.
It is applicable to all the Parties involved within a New FIDIC Contract – the Employer, the Contractor, the
Engineer, and the DAB Members. By having a professional understanding of the responsibilities and rights
of the Parties under a New FIDIC contract and the procedures to manage claims, the resolution of claims will
be achieved more successfully. The tutors of the course are very experienced British engineers, who have
extensive involvement with FIDIC claims, disputes, adjudications, and arbitration procedures throughout the
world.
The World Bank and the IFI’s also require a Dispute Board on the same basis as the FIDIC Contract and
detailed in Harmonised Construction Contract.
