		<description><![CDATA[Building projects are often completed late. This may be due to delay on the part of the contractor, suspension of works, non-payment or other delays caused by the employer, or circumstances outside the control of both parties. MARTIN PRESTON* takes a look at what remedies may be available in such situations.
Construction contracts require the contractor [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Conrad Egbert
Last week, following extensive chats with developers, contractors and suppliers, it was clear that most of the industry is renegotiating contracts to better suit the current market conditions. Now, even though this may seem like the best option (and it probably is) to kick-start the construction industry, a couple of things that Besix&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Gulf’s construction clients are struggling to make up their minds. Governments may be busy issuing tenders for new projects, but few awards are following once bids come in. For contractors, this presents serious problems, as they do not know if or when they will get any new work.
In Abu Dhabi, for instance, the first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Andrew Ness 
Non-U.S. companies frequently ask whether they are eligible to compete for U.S. Government construction and renovation projects, whether within the U.S. or on U.S.-owned facilities abroad.  The answer is a simple “yes” in the great majority of cases, unless the project requires access to secure or classified information.  Much of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Andrew Ness 
The principal weapon of the U.S. government to combat corruption in international business dealings is the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).  To say that the U.S. is now aggressively pursuing FCPA cases is an understatement.  In the past year, we have seen billions of dollars of fines, sting operations, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Joanne Clarke 
Delays are of course a common problem in construction projects.  French law (like English law) allows for a pre-estimation of damages for delay.  However, the common law and the civil law approaches to such pre-estimation appear to differ, as pan-European construction professionals may have encountered.

English lawyers turn towards liquidated damages [...]]]></description>

On 26 December 2009, the PRC Tort Liability Law (the &#8220;Tort Law&#8221;) was promulgated following a seven-year period of discussions and debate. The law will enter into effect on 1 July 2010.
