| Sumario: | This book outlines the various contract procedures which require or permit the use of dispute boards. It gives a detailed explanation of the interpretation and application of each requirement, both practical and legal/contractual, while referring to the international conditions of contract published by FIDIC as well as the other published procedures where relevant. The book also deals with the functions, practicalities and procedures of boards from their inception through to their constitution and workings. The book outlines the requirements and outputs of boards and describes in detail their day to day activities and the pitfalls which members of boards may fall into. The authors, who are currently at the forefront of dispute board development, examine the various alternative forms of dispute boards and the procedures that are currently in use. The duties and responsibilities of individual dispute board members are defined together with ideal and best practice guides. The authors explain the specific requirements for the outputs of dispute boards including site visit reports, decisions and recommendations that boards are required to produce from time to time and provide examples of the required outputs. The appendix includes standard forms of procedures and extracts from relevant contracts. With the announcement by the World Bank that dispute boards will become compulsory for all future projects funded by them, this book offers the definitive guidance on the use of the boards to provide a one-stop shop for all related practitioners.
