International Quarterly is a newsletter which provides informative and practical information regarding legal and commercial developments in construction and energy sectors around the world.
This issue focuses on recent developments in international arbitration and project disputes. We begin with a Privy Council decision offering rare guidance on interpreting standard FIDIC terms in Water and Sewerage Authority of Trinidad and Tobago v Waterworks Ltd. We then look to the UAE, where Dubai’s local onshore courts have for the first time recognised the “without prejudice” principle. This is followed by a review of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre’s 2025 Rules, which introduce new procedures and updates to existing processes. The issue concludes with an analysis of Destin Trading Inc v Saipem SA, a case highlighting risks at the intersection of settlement and arbitration agreements.
