FIDIC 2017 Notices: A Guide to the Requirements, Content and Composition of Notices Under the Red, Yellow and Silver Books (FIDIC Construction Contracts Guides)

Failure to provide notices in the correct format is one of the biggest mistakes made by the Parties and those appointed to administer a FIDIC contract. FIDIC recognised this as a significant problem within the construction industry and in the 2017 editions of their contracts, introduced a contractual definition of a notice, significantly more obligations to give notices and more optional opportunities to give notices than had been included in the 1999 editions. This book examines each clause of the FIDIC Red, Yellow and Silver forms of contract that require or provide options to give notices by the Contractor, the Employer and the Engineer. It contains explanations of why, and under what circumstances, each notice is required and provides real-world, practical examples of the wording of typical notices for each clause.
