3 UAE Law UAE Construction Law Issues & Dispute Resolution: Common Disputes Formation of the Contract Contract Variations and impact on the Contract Price/Time for Completion Progress/Extension of Time Claims/Liquidated Damages Payments (or delay / lack thereof) Disputes Resolution
4 UAE Law.. How does U.A.E. Law and practice deal with these common dispute areas? What are the Dispute Resolution Forums available to parties under FIDIC and U.A.E. law? Impact of UAE Law UAE Law issues have potential to impact certain clauses and concepts UAE Law and Shariah Law principles of good faith and fairness will apply
5 Contract Formation The Contract should be interpreted in accordance with its contents State Governing Law as U.A.E Draft Particular Conditions carefully Avoid hand-written changes and attaching correspondence Minimize ambiguities which may lead to Disputes
6 Variations In order for Contract Variations and claims to be effective under U.A.E. Law, the Variation or claim must be in accordance with the terms of the Contract Variations- Claims Procedure Time Barring Time Bar: As per the Contract, Contractor claims can be time-barred or value reduced by the Engineer if the relevant notice and documentation have not been filed within the period(s) stated in the Contract. U.A.E. Law does not necessarily uphold this view: a good claim never dies Under U.A.E. law a contractual time-bar alone is not sufficient reason to disqualify a claim as U.A.E. law requires: - Contract to be administered fairly and in a non-oppressive way - Contract should be administered in good faith - A party shall not be unjustly enriched
7 Variations.. Increase in Contract Price Doctrine of Changed Circumstances (Article 249 of the U.A.E. Civil Code) Increase in prices of commodities and raw materials U.A.E. law provides that the Contractor may recover the cost if the increase has rendered performance of the Contract at the original Contract Price as so oppressive as to cause the Contractor grave loss Additional recovery will be permitted if the claimant can show: Significant time has elapsed between signing and performance of the Contract; - An unexpected general event must occur - The event should be unforeseeable and unavoidable - The event should make performance of the Contract more difficult rather than impossible
8 Liquidated Damages Liquidated damages for delay are normally capped under the Contract (10% of Contract Price) Under U.A.E. law damages are assessed on the amount actually suffered by the injured party. Consequently the amount of compensation granted may be higher or lower than the amount stated in the Contract, if proven by the party challenging the amount levied; Article 390(2) of the UAE Civil Code: Liquidated damages need to be justified
9 Liquidated Damages Apply to Court/Tribunal Burden of proof is on the party seeking to increase/decrease level of LDs stated in the Contract Type of damages recoverable Direct and foreseeable (including loss of profit) not remote or consequential Examples include lost sales, additional consultant fees, financing charges Examples where Not Recoverable are: Impact on other Projects, increase in commodity price, loss of value
10 Payment Termination for Non-Payment U.A.E. law provides that an injured party may suspend performance if the other party has not fulfilled its obligations Does not mean that the Contractor can repudiate the Contract merely on the basis that the other party has not made payment There is a requirement that the Contractor follow the procedure under the Contract Recent judgments: Reciprocal obligations
11 Disputes Calling the performance security Under the Contract, Performance Bonds/Guarantee granted by the Contractor to the Employer as security for performance of its obligations under the Contract Most Contracts in the U.A.E. require on demand Bonds. Traditionally U.A.E. courts are reluctant to intervene to prevent the encashment of a Bond Recent Trend by Contractors to seek a Declaratory Judgment to stop Employers from Calling the Bond Under U.A.E. law it is possible for the Contractor to prevent encashment of a Bond if it can be shown that the Employer has no valid legal grounds to make such a claim on the Bond. This is based on U.A.E. principles of good faith and fairness
12 Statutory Liability 10 Year liability for major structural defects Applies to both Architect/Engineer and the Contractor Parties cannot contract out of this liability Extent of liability is very wide as includes all loss Whose Liability is it anyway? There is considerable scope for dispute on whether or not a defect was caused by the Consultant s design or the Contractor s method of construction Very often Experts or a Tribunal may determine joint-liability (proportional and culpability)
13 Dispute Resolution Arbitration Most recognized form of dispute resolution for large projects Qualified arbitrators including construction experts Awards enforceable globally under the New York Convention on Foreign Arbitral Awards, 1958 Relatively high administrative and legal costs Parties must have wherewithal/capacity to proceed FIDIC Standard Option: Arbitration under ICC Rules Pros: Tried and tested/ High class arbitrators Cons: Enforcement, High Costs
14 Arbitration in UAE Traditional options: Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) Abu Dhabi Commercial Conciliation and Arbitration Centre (ADCCAC) New options: DIFC-LCIA (Accredited to London Court of International Arbitration) Emirates Maritime Arbitration Centre (EMAC) ADGM Arbitration Centre (Abu Dhabi- 2018)
15 Enforcement U.A.E. Enforcement of Arbitral Awards U.A.E. arbitration awards are enforceable in the U.A.E. Courts by virtue of the U.A.E. Civil Procedure Code International Enforcement of Arbitral Awards U.A.E. is signatory to New York Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards As such, U.A.E. arbitration award may be enforced in any of the other countries that have ratified the Convention and vice versa Enforcement improved in recent times
16 UAE Courts Generally, litigation in UAE Courts are; Low in Costs Impartial Comparatively faster But have the disadvantages of; Lack of qualified experts Language barriers (Arabic only) Enforceability outside UAE
17 New: DIFC-TCD In September 2017, the Dubai International Financial Centre Courts established a Technology and Construction Division as a specialized court for construction disputes Has specialized expert judges Parties should voluntarily accept jurisdiction of DIFC Courts in their contracts Benefits: Faster, less expensive, specialist knowledge, enforceable Disadvantage: Untested Possible new alternative to arbitration?
