"FIDIC: Termination by the Employer under the Red and Yellow Books"

August 2010

Rebecca Saunders, in an article first prepared for the Practical Law website, considers the termination by the Employer under the 1999 FIDIC Red and Yellow Books (the termination provisions of both forms of contract are identical). Termination by the Employer must be distinguished from termination by the Contractor; the rights and obligations of a terminating Contractor differ from those of a terminating Employer. This note deals only with termination by the Employer.
