Breakout sessions (parallel)

This session will take an overview of the 2017 Second Edition of the FIDIC Silver Book which maintains the principles of risk sharing established in the 1999 edition, while seeking to build on the substantial experience gained from its use over the past 18 years. Speakers will discuss some of the key changes in this Second Edition including the greater detail and clarity on the requirements for notices and other communications, provisions to address Employers’ and Contractors’ claims treated equally and separated from disputes, mechanisms for dispute avoidance and the detailed provisions for quality management and verification of contractor’s contractual compliance.
