I am not sure that in Pakistan, any university have the facility to teach the civil engineering students, Construction Law and Arbitration, subject which, I think is a fundamental for engineering students. The Civil Engineers should have the knowledge of the value of contract, its terms, clauses and terminology. When the contracts are awarded, what terms should be inserted and should be careful while inserting some clauses. The Arbitration clause is very important. If it is not well construed, the problems faced by either property during the contract may delay the project.
Similarly as I know , there are no typical contracts published by any body like in UK, where JCT Forms, NEC Contract document etc are published by IBA and ICE as a guide lines to landlords and contractors, an exemplary documents.
Can anyone comment on “Construction law and Arbitration” in Pakistan in these pages?
