Programme Highlights:-New Engineering Contract (NEC) has been highly promoted by and adopted in the HKSAR Government as form of works contract. While the Development Bureau (DEVB)’s Additional Conditions of Contract applicable to these works contract varies the original dispute resolution mechanism under the UK NEC form of contract into more resemblance to the provisions as in the Government’s General Condition of Contract (GCC), this seminar attempts to first introduce the two mechanisms and then look at various differences in approaches and results between them in a comparative manner in order to promote the knowledge base and thoughts for current and future undertakers on NEC form of contract in Hong Kong.
