"Enforcing a Dispute Board’s decision: issues and considerations"

26 July 2011

This paper, written by Nicholas Gould, considers the enforcement of a Dispute Adjudication Board’s (DAB) decision by way of international commercial arbitration under the FIDIC forms of contract. It focuses on the contractual provisions of clause 20, and the relationship between a DAB’s decision, which is “final” or “final and binding” and the referral to arbitration under clause 20.6 or 20.7. A recent Singapore Court decision on this issue is also considered.
