FIDIC contracts are the most widely used contracts for international construction around the world and are used in many different jurisdictions, both common law and civil law. For any construction project, the General Conditions of Contract published by FIDIC need to be supplemented by Particular Conditions that specify the specific requirements of that project subject to the relevant laws. FIDIC Contracts in Asia Pacific provides readers with detailed guidance and resources for the preparation of the Particular Conditions that will comply with the requirements of the applicable laws for a number of the jurisdictions in which FIDIC contracts are used. The laws that apply to the governing law of the contract, construction works and dispute resolution in each jurisdiction are identified. This book offers chapters on the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Underground Works, and the perspective of a bilateral aid agency on the use of FIDIC contracts. Each jurisdiction features an outline of its construction industry and information on the impact of Covid-19 on both the execution of construction projects and the operation of construction contracts. This book is essential reading for construction professionals, lawyers and students of construction law using FIDIC contracts.

The legal regulation of company shares is a fundamental building block in a capitalist society. This insightful book provides an historical analysis of the phenomenon, investigating underlying policy issues and considering relevant aspects of current law to explore possible future trends. David Milman examines the phenomenon of the company share in a holistic way, tracing the origins of the share and exploring the diversity present within the family of shares. Using a comparative approach, key chapters consider the circumstances under which shares are acquired, the property law perspective relevant to shares and the rights and obligations of those who hold shares. The book concludes with speculation on how the share might evolve in the future in light of technological change and the development of other capital raising investments. This accessible book will provide valuable insight to scholars researching corporate law. It will also be beneficial for policymakers and practitioners wishing to understand more about the history of the company share, and how this may impact its future.
