Читать книгу The 2017 FIDIC Contracts - William Godwin - Страница 25

The FIDIC Guidance gives options for various sub‐clauses, with in some cases example wording and in others notes and suggestions. These are set out in the Notes on the Preparation of Special Provisions forming part of the Guidance. They are well worth taking into account.

The notes on definitions (clause 1.1), for example, give some useful warnings about how any changes to the definitions may well have serious consequences for the interpretation of the Contract documents and should not generally be made, but go on to give specific instances where some definitions, such as the Base Date, might be usefully amended, or where the site crosses the border between two countries.

Example wording is provided under clause 1.15, for example, dealing with limitation of liability where parties wish to take into account liabilities which are to be insured under clause 19 and so provide for specific liability by reference to each potential head of damage. Other examples concern notes on Provisional Sums (clause 13.4), formulae for adjustments for changes in cost (clause 13.7) and notes on Schedules of Payments (clause 14.4) and financing arrangements, with example wording.
