The states conclude this kind of contracts with the private law persons i.e. the state grants this contract as opportunity for the private sector to invest. There are differences between jurists in this field about the nature of this contract some of them decide that it’s a private law contract and some others see that it’s a public law one. This difference reflected also the legislations in those states which issued a private regulation concerning to this contract. This research entitled by (the B.O.T. contracts between private law and public law and its effect on bringing investments) which aimed at clearing the difference and chose the exact one. So we divided the research into three chapters: Chapter one concerning to the notion of B.O.T. contracts and its privileges and characteristics. Chapter two dealing with the different opinions related to the nature of the B.O.T. contract chapter three is about the legal effects of choosing an opinion rather than the other and how its concerning to the bringing of investments and the point of view in Iraqi law situation in the light of the Iraqi law investment and Kurdistan region investment law In conclusion we arrived to some results and recommendations written down at the end and attached by a B.O.T. law project proposal. < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] $ # . .$) # *+ # : :# ' % .12340/0/ :- . .12220/06 : # 5 . . # ! – #7 0% :5% 9969161:6/66 : Email :[email protected] .$) # – *+ # – 5%+ " :# #; :# % C2 ,) 5) ES T?2 Z -Y) 5 ? • .[S .[S C2 , 8) -) ? • : # -< .C2 ) $" */ 5 9 \6S ) $ ) & + & • 9 \6S ) 3 ] 8 & • : ) : ) ) 3 /$$/3 • .N .N 0) 94 B) &)] 94 P/ FS)< " Q F • Abstracts and CVs " (F) G8) T 9 7)C) .C2 :=; > 0) " _ + " '() & & • 0) " _ + " '() & • .3 /$3/3!0) "_ + "'() & • .$/%/3 3/$$/3 : >%? , 7)C) &)< ,4 P/ FS)<" B) • .“(F) G8) T ./ F ,4 68 F K/< . • .& ,4 B) E , / N8 • – M8 N8 – ) : – :) ,C ,] )D • .3 M8 N8 – < – – 8 ,C ,] )D • .3" – – ,L – , O) &/) – 8 5 , )D • < ,4 &/) K/ –6/) F< .B.O.T < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] – -/ – */ – 62 / , )D • .3 – .3 \X \ F) F 5 )D • Abstracts and CVs B.O.T( % & ' .

State governments including Arab governments resorted to this system due to its advantages, mainly, less foreign loans and therefore it helps in preserving hard currencies B.O.T contracting system has some consequences for both contracting parties, even for the administrative authority offering the right and the second party (Project Company) The current study illustrates the consequences of the B.O.T contract as regards the Project Company, particularly, the liabilities of the Project Company. B.O.T contracts impose many liabilities on the Project Company. Examples of such liabilities are: 1. • • • General Liabilities" The project company is considered liable for execution of the project but it has the advantage of sub-contraction The project company is to offer guarantees of good execution The project company is to abide by the principles of operating the public utility. 2. Special Liabilities: • The project company is to notify the administrative authority with the surrounding conditions of the contract, maintenance works, the transfer of the project ownership, transfer of technology to the hosting state even through the training of domestic labor or through the collaborative activities of scientific research Abstracts and CVs Georges Cavalier University of Lyon 3 Law School Institute for Business Law & Economy (IDEA) 18 rue Chevreul – 69362 Lyon Cedex 07 - FRANCE T. + (33) 4.78.78.73.38 C. + (33) 6.10.59.35.81 F. + (33) 4.78.78.71.44 [email protected] http://ssrn.com/author=878763 http://www.edocdroitlyon3.com/annuaires_pop_prof.php?id=5008 Short Academic Biography Georges Cavalier is Associate Professor of Law at the University of Lyon, France, Academic Director for International Programs (North America), and Director of the Master of Laws in Business Law and Taxation.

A partir de cas concrets, l’auteur explore les choix pour structurer juridiquement de tels projets tout en apportant quelques réponses aux questions de droit français soulevées par la nature controversée (mobilière ou immobilière) de l’éolienne. L’évaluation des aspects réglementaires, juridiques (contrats spéciaux, droit de la construction, sûretés) et fiscaux, a vocation à fournir un socle de réflexions aux Emirats Arabes Unis, à l’heure où ils se tournent vers l’énergie renouvelable (Masdar City) pour palier l’épuisement des ressources fossiles. SUMMARY: This article analyses different aspects of the development of wind farms in France. Based on empirical hypothesis, the author explores the legal structure suited for these projects, and, due to the controversy over whether wind farms are movable or immovable, discusses questions raised in French law. The assessment of regulatory, legal (contracts, construction law, security interest), and tax aspects provide the basis for reflexion by the United Arab Emirates, at a time when they are considering sustainable energy technologies (Masdar City) to better face the depletion of fossil energy resources.

In this research, we addressed the nature of the fine delay in contracts of the public construction, which differ in their nature from contracts the private construction. In the latter, the fine delay is a compensation which its amount is fixed by agreement and in advance. This requires proof of damage resulting from delay. While the fine delay in contracts of public construction is deserve as soon as the delay and without the need for proof of damage. Therefore, the question arises whether nature of such a fine is considered as a penalty or compensation. In this research, we have addressed this issue through a review of this nature in the comparative law and in the laws of Egypt and United Arab Emirates where these laws varied in determining this nature. Moreover, in the same state, the judgments of courts, as the High Administrative Court in Egypt, are different. At the end of this research, we concluded to support the trend which considers the fine delay in contracts of public construction as a penalty imposed bu the adminstrative authority against the other contractor for his breach of good conduct of the public utility. This penalty may be taken into account when determining the amount of the full compensation for damage resulting from this delay or may not be taken into account. This is determined by the will of the parties to the contract or by the provisions of law. However, it must be fixed at the outset in all cases. Otherwise, it may lead to an illogical result where the administrative authority can get compensation which its amount exceeds the amount of damage. Undoubtedly, this result is contrary to the proper legal logic and rules of justice. < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] . : ! • ( %&&') "# (*++,) ) • (*++/) -. ) • – 0 (*++1) • 5 8 :%&&7/%&&/ 2 34 5 ! 9 # : 9 • 3 4 ; 0 : : ! .(%&&7/%&&/) 3< • .(%&&//%&&') ; 0 : .(%&&/:%&&') 0 : . 08 ? @ > ; 0 : .%&&7 C %&&% AB< # : .%&&% C *++D : : : E (F) 9 58 : -. : -. : -. *+'7/,/7 : G H Abstracts and CVs IB :9E – – : : / ### #$$%$& : " – &&+/*,&1,&/7*, : )J [email protected] : J 0 LA M9 : (%&&7 – %&&/ 2 34 5) ! :* . )J 9 #/ !O ) )N (@E) C 0 : ! :% : (P< 3< 3 4 ; @ 0 : .(%&&7/%&&/) .(%&&//%&&') ; 0 : .(%&&/:%&&') 0 : 0 ) 9 / % % % * * D D * 3.

The research further sheds light on the mechanisms used for protecting lenders from the risks that would prevent proper execution of such projects. These mechanisms are generally intended to provide a package of guarantees protecting the movable and immovable assets of projects during the construction process. They are also planned to capture the cash flows that inherently stem from such projects and prevent cash flows' exposure to the financial liabilities of a company assigned to execute a project during its exploitation period. This research also provides an overview of the most eminent obstacles that may face arbitration proceedings duly undertaken to settle the disputes arising out of such projects. In order to easily demonstrate such mechanisms used for protecting lenders and obstacles of arbitration, the research further provides -in its introduction- a summarized description of the BOT system and the related contractual structure. < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] Dr. Kameran Al-Salihi Associate Professor College Law University of UAE Education Ph.

And settlement of disputes arising from the implementation of these projects require the creation of appropriate and effective means to achieve justice, realism and speed safety, implementation of these projects, so these means always be the focus of attention of the parties involved in these projects, as the interest of public sector as well as investors and contractors and lenders in the presence of effective measures to avoid or resolve conflicts quickly. From this standpoint, we find that the United Nations Commission of International Trade Law confirmed that should not be any obstacles or restrictions to prevent the use of mechanisms for the settlement of disputes through friendly outside the judicial system, and therefore, the parties to these contracts, they can agree on one or more means of alternative means of dispute settlement according to the the special needs of these projects and to ensure successful implementation, We have referred to these means, including negotiation, conciliation, arbitration and the use of expert opinion and mini-trials, also broached the possibility of arbitration and resort to BOT contract. Abstracts and CVs We have come through research the possibility of recourse to amicable means to resolve disputes concerning the BOT contracts in accordance with the law in the UAE, who kept pace with that of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law and International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes and the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes in Arab States. < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] 4 4" 6 4" . : : : !

States have sought constantly to attract foreign investment, and embarked on the provision of facilities and legal safeguards. Washington Convention of 1965 for the settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of other countries established the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes. The main objective of this center is to facilitate the settlement of investment disputes between governments and foreign investors in order to increase international investment flows. International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes regard to the consideration of legal disputes that arise directly from the investment between the Member State of the Center and an investor has the nationality of another Member State of the Center. The study is trying to draw a clear picture of the form of arbitration within the Center, the role of arbitral tribunals, and the importance of the principles of international law in the area of arbitration before arbitral status, especially in light of the absence of agreement of the parties to determine the law applicable to the center.

Prof. Dr. Emrehan INAL Istanbul University Law Faculty, Centre of Comparative Law Agreements entered into by a landowner and contractor to perform a construction project have traditionally been made either in the form of “a simple construction contract or in the form of construction contracts under which construction is performed in consideration of land share”. Recently, however, parallel to the developments in the real estate and construction sector, a new type of a construction contract between owners and contractors has become common, particularly in the construction of medium- and large- sized building projects. Under profit-sharing construction contracts, the parties, i.e. the owner and the contractor, conclude an agreement on how they will share the gain which will be obtained from the sale of independent sections which are going to be built by the contractor. The aim of entering into such an agreement is not only to perform construction (independent sections) on the owner’s land, but also to make a profit by selling independent sections and sharing the gain in question. In order to achieve this result, the contractor erects a construction (builds independent sections) on the owner’s land as well as selling independent sections to third parties. Since both revenue sharing contracts, in general, and profit sharing construction contracts, in particular, are not regulated by the Code, the issues as to their legal character, type and whether their validity is subject to a specific formal requirement and rights and obligations of the parties need to be clarified. In cases where parties merely intend to make a profit from the sale of independent sections, profit-sharing construction contracts provide an effective opportunity to achieve this objective.

Indeed, this fact makes it different from all the other well-known types of groupments such as companies, GIE, and the contractual groupment. Moreover this research studies the duties regime; the consortium creates between its different members, which differentiates between the relationship between the members themselves and their relationship with third party. Furthermore, this study sheds light on the different specific duties that emanate from the consortium such as obligations of cooperation, solidarity, assistance, advice, reciprocal information as well as friendly disputesolving. Finally, this research takes into consideration the international aspect of this unique concept called “Consortium”. < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] Mr Loïc BELLEIL né le 8 janvier 1949 Licencié en droit de la faculté de droit de Nantes Diplômé d’études spécialisées en droit commercial de la faculté de Rouen Diplômé d’études spécialisées en droit bancaire de la faculté de PanthéonSorbonne.

This because the provisions of the UAE Civi Transactions law and the Egyptian Civil law make the liability for construction defects only on the contractor and the architect. In doing so, these provisions seem infuenced by the traditional concept of the architectural work where the defects are restriced to the constructions made of raw building materials(cement, sands, gravel, etc). But the modern concept of the architectural work is not only limited to construction works, which are based on the raw matrials mentioned above, but also includes indusrial construction that rely in whole or in part on prefabricated parts of buildings. While the legislators in UAE and Egypt stipulated only the traditional methods of construction, the French legislator went a step forward by making the manufacturer of these prefabricated prts of buildings – with the contractor- responsible for defects of the architectural work. However, the responsibility of the manufacturer is established in this regard if the contractor has not change the nature of these prefabricated parts of buildings and he has followed the manufacturer's instructions regarding the establishment or incorporated in the architrctural work as a whole. If these conditions are existed, both of the manufactuerer and the contractor will be responsible for defcts. So, the employer may ask one of them or both of them (in solidarity) to pay a compensation for the damage to the damage to architectural work.

Abstracts and CVs The Issuance of Variation Orders by the Engineer in the Construction Contract. A Study on the FIDIC Red Book. Dr. Nisreen Mahasneh Yamouk University-Irbid. Varying the Works is considered among those authorities given to the Engineer in a construction contract. Yet, such an authority is subject to some restrictions. By issuing a Variation Order, the Engineer in fact requests either changes or additions to the Work which are not within the original contract’s scope. The Engineer is obligated to ensure that the Variation Order is written, necessary and embodies additional or new work. In return, the contractor becomes entitled to additional payment for such additional Work. In the course of determining the legal status of the Engineer in issuing the Variation Order, it has been found that the Engineer, not being a party in the contract, has no right to amend it. Then, both agency and works legal doctrines were analyzed and found not to be an appropriate legal base to justify such an authority. Rather, it is necessary to analyze the Conditions of Particular Application of the contract; hence, if the Engineer is fully independent when issuing such an order then it can be considered a contractor in a Works Contract. To the contrary, if such authority is restricted, then the Engineer may well be considered an agent. But, if the Engineer has no discretion and authority whatsoever is doing so, it can be then considered as a mere Employer. Finally, this research has concluded that the Variation Order can be legally established on the legal doctrine of delegation of authority to amend the contract to a third party, i.e the Engineer. This research has also called for re-regulating the role of the Engineer in the chapter of Works Contract in Jordan Civil Code. < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] BRIAND Philippe Date de naissance : 16 décembre 1961 Adresse personnelle : 84, Boulevard des Américains 44300, NANTES N° de téléphone : Domicile : 02 40 16 07 00 Portable : 06 62 61 06 88 Adresse électronique : [email protected] Professeur des Universités Unité de recherche d’appartenance : INSTITUT DE RECHERCHE EN DROIT PRIVE (IRDP) – EA 1166 – Directeur : Pr.

According to this Law, Where the principal promoter failed to execute his obligations, the Sub- contractor can go to original owner directly with a request to allow him to execute his rights. But the protection given to the Sub contractor under this law is not absolute. And hence, certain amendments are required to be made, so as to provide the sub – contractor absolute rights to proceed with the contrast. < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] Stéphane Oddos, Esq.

At the beginning of the legal development , the copyrights laws protects the architectural arts and designs which include engraving and decoration appear on the buildings or inside it, and if these works be done by one person to another , the legal protection is not be conferred on the owner of the buildings but to the person who created them , whereas the architectural designs – the maps and the drawing related to the architectural art- are protected as a written copyrights forbidden legally to be published by the others but it is permissible legal to be executed by the others in form of buildings without any prejudice to the authors of the drawings and maps by forming the designs to a construction as a separate artistic work worth to be protected as derivative artistic works. Related to the issue , if the designers make a mini sample for his architectural designs , the others are not permitted to executed them , since the executing of the designs does not totally mean its transformation from one art to another. This tradition standpoint has been coded in the UAE Copyrights and the Neighboring rights Law No.7 dated 2002. Its is worth to mention the legal protection conferred on the rights of architectural works designer are not sufficient since it permits to the others to imitate the building –which contains the architectural designs – and not deem this person as trespassers on the rights of designer on pretext that he has not violated the designs and the drawings. It also permits to the others to transform the architectural designs to buildings as derivative artistic Abstracts and CVs works which will totally make the rights of the architectural designs creator unprotected. The aim of this research is to confer safe legal protection more effective on the rights of architectural designers by borrowing the rules coded in (AWCPA) the American law for protection the rights of the authors of the architectural designs no 650-101 dated 1990 , and inserting them in the UAE copyright law. < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] 3 * #, *.

Trying to compromise between respecting the regulations of the conference, with regard to the possible space not exceeding thirty pages in relation to time allowance, on one hand, and respecting the substantive aspect of the research thoroughly, I have seen that the presentation shall be precise concentrating on the variety of the references to which the researcher can return. This aspect has been verified as the research includes 55 foreign references, whether legal periodicals, specialized references, decisions of the French and Swiss Courts of Cassation, favorite jurists' opinions, translated by me as a professional translator from French to Arabic. The research consists of one part including three chapters. The first chapter deals with the conditions of the engineering work to be legally protected as for intellectual property, regarding creativity, invention and one's viewpoint. Increasingly, the chapter discusses the rights of the Architect when his work enjoys the legal protection relating to his name, personality and work, including his models, drawings and designs, whether before the beginning or after the execution of the project. The second chapter deals with the disputes that arise regarding the rights of the Architect and cases of conflicts between these rights and the rights of the entrepreneur in addition to the ways of coping with the rights herein facing authority, the public system and the other laws conflicting with the laws of intellectual property. In the third chapter we, conclusively, discuss the moral side of intellectual property, especially in case of work completion by another engineer and the right of the engineer to maintain his name on the project; and the ways of dealing with any modifications on the work without his agreement. Besides, we accentuate the ways of waiving the right of possession, its entailments and its conditions. All of this is verbalized through a comprehensive practical framework built on the decisions of the French Courts of Cassation and the United Swiss Court in addition to the legal articles extracted from different laws on protecting the authors' rights, and, also, the jurists' opinions < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] 4 . .., 7(% 1I\I /I : ) : Z: : : /14 L2 /2/ 444 : '$ /14 L2 /40 /4/ : 9% IP 4\1 44P : ' : !

But the existence of this right is submissive at one essential condition, that in the originality of work. This originality consists in the personal character of architectural work. When it is original, the author of this work own two categories of rights: those are the moral rights (I) and the economic rights of architect (II). I – The moral rights of architect The architects have the right to respect for their names (A) and the right to respect for the integrity of their works (B). A) The right of architect to respect for his author’s name The architect can require that any plan or building mention his author’s name from the moment that it is original and is his work. B) The right of architect to respect for his work The architectural work must be communicated to the public without modified, distorted or transformed. But, the right of architect to respect for his work is not absolute and it is limited by the material property right and public policy rules. Indeed, it is allowed at the owner to modify his building. Without the consent of architect when this modification is justified by economic and technical imperatives. Abstracts and CVs What’s more, the right of architect to respect for his work yields to public policy rules from different fields of low, like, for example, the urban plans low. II – The economic rights of architect The architect enjoy many exclusive economic rights in his work (A), but this rights are not absolute and are limited (B). A) The various economic rights of architect The architect enjoy in his work two essential economic rights: the rights of reproduction and representation. The reproduction consists of the manufacture of plans, copies or construction another building. As for the representation, it consists of the communication of work to public by expositions or another way. Those two rights can be passed to others by written contract. B) The limits attached to the economic rights of architect Several limits are attached to the production and representation right of architect. The first is the limitation of those rights to fifty years after the death of the author. What’s more, it is possible to reproduce and to represent the architecture work without written permission by the architect, for serve the culture, the information and teaching. < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] JEAN-PIERRE CLAVIER PROFESSEUR DE DROIT PRIVÉ À L’UNIVERSITÉ DE NANTES DIRECTEUR DE L’INSTITUT DE RECHERCHE EN DROIT PRIVÉ Docteur en droit de l’Université de Nantes, Janvier 1994 Habilité à diriger des recherches Chemin de la Censive du Tertre – BP 81307 – 44313 Nantes cedex 3 tél. 06 32 52 19 03 – courriel : [email protected] Activités d’enseignement Chargé des enseignements de : ¬ Droit de la propriété industrielle ¬ Droit des nouvelles technologies ¬ Droit du commerce électronique Activités de recherche et éditoriales Ouvrages publiés ¬ Dictionnaire de droit de la propriété intellectuelle, Ellipses, coll.

Architectural models/designs are creative works protected as intellectual property, as they are similar to authors' works. When the owner modifies or changes the Architectural design, without the consent of the original creator, the architect has every right to protest against such change. The Berne convention, which was signed by 164 members, including the UAE, provides, under Art 4, the right of the creator of the Architectural work. There is an obligation upon every member to protect the right of Architector. < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] ! / .%"!#$/!/ : . – ' ( ( ) *+ : .

The law of England to consider the issue of measuring damages in construction projects as a matter of law that are specific to the higher courts, which led to a considerable case law develop sophisticated solutions to a high degree of accuracy and clarity, and is no doubt that relying on expert reports on the issue of measurement damage according to the circumstances surrounding the corollary each case individually and at the discretion of the expert and his technical and culture to all aspects of the conflict and erudition in the field of specialization, realizes justice desired to achieve full compensation of the damage. At the same time seeking international and regional organizations and national legislation to implement the Uniform Building Code, which includes the finest detail on the operations of the building and construction, and include models of construction contracts and construction of the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) substantive rules as a measure of the extent of damage in construction. From this point raise this paper that the high scientific technology in the field of construction and contract models (FIDIC) system and Uniform Abstracts and CVs Building Code, and in light of the difficulty of establishing a specific criterion to distinguish between what is fact and what is the law of the veto in justice or discrimination, can not develop standards and controls on the question of measure the size of damages in construction contract disputes and construction, and then change the view on this issue from becoming a question of fact not subject to the control of the Court of Cassation or discrimination to a matter of law to be controlled like Palmtba on English law, which considers this issue a matter of law, especially with different experts engineering in the damage assessment, with emphasis on the use of the work of engineering experience in the courts or through other means of dispute resolution such as arbitration, mediation or conciliation, but according to uniform controls on the measurement of the extent of damage in order to avoid excesses, which carries reports of engineering experience and appreciation of access to proper legal damage without enrichment or lack of. For this paper addresses (defining the concept of search terms, technical and legal - methods of measuring damage in national law and contract models (FIDIC) - controls the legislative and judicial trends in the measure of damages - assessment and damage assessment tools used in construction disputes - conclusion of the study and recommendations and proposals). < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] STEPHEN E.

Participated in all of the actions inherent to the practice of law relating to litigation: meeting with clients, preparation of written motions in each case, making court appearances to prosecute and contest motions, engaging in written discovery (e.g., via written interrogatories, requests for admission and requests for production), conducting depositions of witnesses in each case, participating in mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, participating in trials as both lead-counsel and second-chair counsel, writing and orally presenting appeals at the appellate courts, advertising my services, and managing my office secretary. b.

(See Reference # 4 at end.) PARTICIPATION IN MANAGEMENT SEMINAR IN CHINA: In the summer of 1993, the City of Oklahoma City invited me to go to Haikou, China as a participant in a two-week management seminar given to mid-level Chinese executives. My presentations pertained to principles of management, total quality management, and international business law. This seminar was one event in a series of exchanges between Oklahoma City and Haikou which occurred after they established a “Sister City” relationship in 1992. (See Reference # 3 at end.) MANAGEMENT CONSULTING IN CHINA: During 1997 and 1998, I carried out several management consulting projects as Project Manager for American Fidelity (China), Ltd., Haikou, China. Its parent corporation is headquartered in Oklahoma City. These projects were undertaken on behalf of the government of the City of Haikou, China. During the 1990’s, “privatization” emerged in China—a movement away from state-ownership of enterprises toward a free market economy and private ownership. Overnight, business managers who once ran state-owned enterprises had to adapt to a freemarket economy and to a competitive business environment. These managers needed advice pertaining to: how to deal with problems inherently arising during conversion from government-ownership to private-ownership (e.g., being burdened with an overabundance of employees that cannot be discharged); strategic, long-range planning systems; improvement in organizational effectiveness and efficiency; accounting and control systems; international business law; human resource techniques; and marketing.

Courts in the United States often presume that an NDFD clause is valid. However, because of their harsh consequences to a Contractor, they are strictly construed and several exceptions to their validity are often recognized: (1) when the Owner has actively interfered in the construction project; (2) when the delay was not contemplated by either the Owner or the Contractor; (3) when the duration of the delay is unreasonably long; (4) when the delay is caused by the Owner’s fraud, bad faith, or other intentional wrongful conduct; (5) when the Owner intentionally breaches a fundamental obligation of the contract; and (6) when the jurisdiction has enacted a statute which has declared NDFD clauses void and in violation of public policy. UAE construction law does not specifically address the issue of NDFD clauses, but it does provide that a Contractor has a duty to promptly inform the Owner whenever it believes that additional time will be necessary to complete the project. Lawyers drafting a NDFD clause on behalf of an Owner should prominently display it in the document and should protect the Owner from all delays caused by his acts or negligence regardless of whether the risk of delay was contemplated by the parties. *Professor of Law and Accounting, School of Management, New York Institute of Technology, CERT Technology Park, P.O.

The aim of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of the state of law on pure economic loss resulting from construction defects in four common law jurisdictions, namely, England, USA (State of California), Australia and Singapore. The paper will show that whilst the English and American courts have regularly found pure economic loss problematic and have had the tendency to reject claims based on the belief that such losses are more difficult to foresee than ordinary losses, or that they would open the flood gates for a series of derivative claims, the courts in Australia and Singapore have taken a different path, showing their willingness to test each case on the merits so as to allow themselves to do justice in individual cases. This paper argues in favour of the liberal approach taken by the Australian and Singapore courts, primarily on the basis that, in claims for pure economic loss, although there is no physical injury to person or property of the victim, the very fact that an economic loss is caused to the victim as a result of the tortfeasor’s action should be actionable in law.

General legal principles provide that the contractor or person who is in effective control in the construction site is legally liable for any damages or harms resulted from the construction works, yet there is a need for to adopt special legal rules which enhance the safety during the construction period. These rules vary from the traditional egal provisions which govern the legal liability, in civil law and law of contracts. The main focus of the paper is to examine the preventive safety requirements as provided for in the licensing system of Damascus municipality. The paper is divided into two sections: the first one deals with safety rules required n the process of issuing a license for construction or demolition.

The French Law focuses on the importance of protection of environment. When the petrol prices increased in 2006, the French government, tried to explore alternative energy sources. Accordingly, later, the Rules were modified, by bringing a new Law in 2009, which is against causing threat to environment in Construction works. This Law explains the procedures, restrictions in construction works and the legal consequences when there is a violation, by the owner, the promoter and the contractors.

Prof. Hanri MostertÉ BA LLB LLM LLD (Stell) Professor of Law, University of Cape Town, South Africa The paper focuses on the South African Housing Consumers’ Protection Measures Act 95 of 1998, and reviews the measures in place to deal with the builder’s liability for defects. The Housing Consumer Protection Measures Act provides protection against work of an unacceptable quality or standard; and/or builders who refuse to get involved in the rectification of built-in defects in the houses that they have built. It does so by providing certain measures to ensure quality construction; and by creating the National Home Builders’ Registration Council (NHBRC) to act as watchdog. The housing consumer is hereby protected by several mechanisms against building defects; and disputes with the home builder. Though the Act introduced laudable protective mechanisms for housing consumers, it has not gone far enough to deal with the challenges facing housing consumers. The paper outlines the deficiencies of the Act in this regard. It then focuses specifically on the applicability of the Act in the context of the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP); aimed to address socio-economic problems brought about by poverty and shortfalls in social services. The goals of the RDP are outlined and the challenges faced, namely poor quality construction and the possibility of corruption, are explored. The flaws in RDP houses and in the RDP programme are particularly alarming when viewed against the mechanisms provided by the Housing Consumer Protection Measures Act.

This paper deals with the method of resolving disputes arising from construction contracts, especially FIDIC. In the light of FIDIC rules, disputes arising from construction contracts are settled through two steps. The first, through amicable way by engineer or by Dispute Adjudication Board negotiating to resolve the disputes. second through arbitration to resolve the disputes by issuing a binding decision. This paper dealt with the subject in a comparison way between FIDIC Rules of 1987, which depend on the consultant engineer, and FIDIC rules of 1999, which depend on the Dispute Adjudication Board. It also makes references to some Arabic (including Dubai)and Foreign Countries' judicial applications that concern with the subjects of this paper. Abstracts and CVs 3' # .

This study demonstrates the efficiency of these rules in solving disputes in this area in a quick way and how such methods overcome problems that may arise during the execution of such contracts. To reach such conclusion, this study has examined the definition of mediation as a method for solving disputes arise in construction and building contracts and differentiate between this method and other similar methods such as reconciliation and arbitration. Also an explanation of mediation procedures has been examined. This study concludes that the Hong Kong Mediation rules in solving disputes of construction and building contracts can be applied in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Parties can agree to make mediation as a perquisite method in solving issues in the construction and ensure building contracts to be fulfilled. This may return to the fact that this method is a suitable way to ensure fulfillment of such contracts and problems may arise during the contract period can be resolved easily by such method. In addition this method by its quick nature in solving issues will not affect the implementation of building projects in comparison with solving such issues by courts or even through the arbitration.

The Future of Arbitration of Investment Protection in the Disputes of International Construction Contracts Abdullah M. ALDMOUR Résumé L’objet de cette communication est d’attirer l’attention sur la relation entre les contentieux des contrats internationaux de construction et l’arbitrage dirigé sous l’égide du CIRDI (Centre International pour le Règlement des différends relatifs aux Investissement). La question fondamentale dans cette communication est de savoir à quelles conditions un contrat de construction peut bénéficier des dispositions relatives au règlement des litiges prévues dans les traités internationaux, surtout lorsque les questions litigieuses sont de nature purement contractuelle qui font souvent l'objet d'un arbitrage commercial institutionnel tel que l’arbitrage(CCI) en vertu d'une clause FIDIC (par exemple). Summary The purpose of this communication is to draw attention to the relationship between the litigation of international construction contracts and arbitration conducted under the auspices of ICSID (International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes). The fundamental question in this communication is, under what conditions a construction contract can benefit from the provisions relating to the settlement of disputes, provided for in international treaties, especially when the issues are purely contractual and often subject to commercial arbitration institutions For example, arbitration (ICC) under FIDIC clause.

The response of the industry to trends and fluctuations in the market demand is significant. In time of high construction activity, legal claims arise from hasty contract formation, inadequate documentation, poor workmanship and claims for extensions of time and extras. In times of low demand legal claims arise in situations where contractors attempt to generate low profits through claims arising from latent site conditions, variations and extras under the contract. The resolution of construction disputes, especially those relating to payment claims, are notoriously time consuming and expensive. These disputes are often founded in or exacerbated by misunderstandings between the parties as to their respective rights and obligations. There is also often a significant power imbalance between principal and head contractor or head contractor and sub contractor. Prior to the introduction of Security of Payment legislation in Australia, when there has been a dispute over payment for construction work done or materials supplied, the person who has done the work or supplied the materials has been at a distinct disadvantage. They were faced with the prospect of a lengthy and time consuming task in attempting to obtain payment for work for which they were legitimately entitled by seeking payment under the common law procedures. < <<<°nu^f×Ö<íéi]„Ö]<ŠÖ]æ<l^’~×¹] & " ) 4 5 ..5 – &5 8F J = O6 0 &0 0D *5 +5 " +' & LD7 8F & +7 ' =F( +' 5 .( & 'D +7 G < E (\< aF 5 .( 00 (< J b8% & OF 6 & !

Abstracts and CVs CONSTRUCTION DISPUTE AVOIDANCE Prof. Mihd Akram Bin Shair Mohamed LLB, Ph.D Barrister at Law Advocate and Solicitor, High Court (Malaya)/ Dean Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws International Islamic University Malaysia It is widely acknowledged that the construction industry, particularly in the common law jurisdictions, including Malaysia, has deeply ingrained adversarial attitudes. There is also a general consensus that the seeking of advice and action from lawyers is embarked upon readily. While a relatively small number of these legal disputes actually reach formal court hearings, the culture of conflict seems to be embedded, and the tendency towards litigiousness is sadly growing. These disputes and conflicts have taken their toll on morale and team spirit. Dispute resolution mechanisms like adjudication, mediation, conciliation, arbitration and litigations, are not only about passing of money between parties or agreeing the solution to a technical problem. It is about reducing the risk of damaging relationships, disrupting teamwork and joint collaboration between parties who disagree, in the interest of the client and the successful completion of the project. This can be best achieved if the relevant parties seriously consider agreeing on contractual relationship that conduce to dispute avoidance, preempt disputes. This paper set out ideas for consideration as to the ways which promote the avoidance of potential construction dispute.
