International Projects Law and Practice Last Updated Date: 9 June 2009 4 Credits, Semester 1 Course Description: This course is intended to introduce students to the practice and law relating to international projects and infrastructure. The various methods of procurement and the construction process involved will be reviewed in conjunction with standard forms that are used internationally – the FIDIC Form of Contract (4th Edition), the New Engineering Contract (3rd Edition) and the JCT Form of Contract (2005 Edition), among others. Familiar issues such as defects, time and cost overruns and the implications therefrom (and how these matters are dealt with in the international standard forms) will also be touched upon. The course will provide students with an understanding of how projects internationally are procured, planned and administered as well as give an insight into how legal and commercial risks are identified, priced, managed and mitigated. To give the course a practical perspective, practitioners from various disciplines in the region and beyond would be invited as guests to share their experience on issues that generally arise across various jurisdictions, such as China, India, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Malaysia, the United Kingdom and the Middle East (where available) At a time when Singapore-based corporations are venturing abroad for projects and when regional and international law firms are involved to a greater extent in advising on these projects, this course should prove to be both practical and timely.
