FIDIC contracts are the most widely used contracts for international construction around the world and are used in many different jurisdictions, both common law and civil law. For any construction project, the General Conditions of Contract published by FIDIC need to be supplemented by Particular Conditions that specify the specific requirements of that project.
FIDIC Contracts in Europe: A Practical Guide to Application provides readers with detailed guidance and resources for the preparation of the Particular Conditions that will comply with the requirements of the applicable laws that apply to the site where the work is carried out, and for the governing law of the contract, for a number of the jurisdictions in which FIDIC contracts are used. This book closely follows the format of The International Application of FIDIC Contracts, with the addition of an outline of the construction industry and information on the impact of COVID-19 on both the execution and operation of construction contracts in each jurisdiction.
This book is essential reading for construction professionals, lawyers and students of construction law.

This book is indeed a practical guide to the use of FIDIC contracts across the diverse landscape of engineering/construction contracting in Europe. Including, as it does, extensive input from so many eminent European experts, I have no hesitation in recommending it as a valuable resource for those professionals that are, or will be, involved with FIDIC's forms of contracts on European project.

I can highly commend this book on multiple levels - from its intention to provide a practical tool by which to draft the Particular Conditions to a FIDIC Contract to its secondary benefits providing invaluable insight into the operation of construction law across multiple jurisdictions.

Agreement on the effect of the contract given the specific legal and practical context of an international construction project is an essential feature for successful project delivery. This excellent book will be a fi rst point of reference for all of those involved.

Dr Charrett has not only shared his own expertise on the FIDIC contract forms; he has also gathered a formidable team of authors to comment upon the use of these forms across Europe. This book will be valuable not only for its insights into how the forms are used in various jurisdictions but also for the cross-cutting perspectives offered in comparing the approaches across those jurisdictions.
