The management of contract claims and the resolution of disputes under the 1999 FIDIC Contracts and Multi-lateral Development Banks’ Harmonised Construction Contract
  

Within 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.

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.
