Event Outline

Contract law in all countries is based on the twin principles of freedom of contract, and pacta sunt servanda. Local laws apply if the governing law of the contract, the site of the construction work, or if the seat of dispute resolution, is in the jurisdiction. This lecture explores the question of whether there are universally accepted principles of construction law, a lex constructionis, or whether it is trumped in jurisdictions by local laws that differ from international norms.
