English construction law developments 2013

The publication provides a complete overview of last year’s construction law developments from an international perspective and offers analysis on the age-old topics of termination clauses, caps on liability and exclusion clauses, which continue to provide fertile grounds for dispute. The publication contains further scrutiny of calls on performance securities and the continuing trend of softening the traditionally robust practice taken by English law in relation to on-demand bonds. It also considers the interlinked issues of waiver, estoppel and representation clauses and “entire agreement” clauses, and some further judicial thought on the “temporary disconformity principle.” It also discusses dispute resolution clauses and the operation of Dispute Adjudication Board provisions under FIDIC contracts.
