Exceptional Events and Insurance under FIDIC Red Book

Exceptional Events and Insurance under FIDIC Red Book

Level Advanced
Duration 30 minutes

This course covers Clauses 18 and 19 of the Red Book.  These deal with:

  • Exceptional Events (akin to force majeure); and
  • Insurance requirements.

Other than to understand what types of insurance are required, it is to be hoped that users will not need to utilise these clauses in real world situations, as they deal with the types of events that we hope will not happen.

Accreditations & CPD

This course provides structured Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Recognition of CPD is subject to individual professional body requirements and the learner’s role. This course is not formally accredited unless explicitly stated.

Suitable for CPD requirements of RICS, CIOB, ICE, and CICES members.

Learning Outcomes

After completing this course, you should be able to:

• Explain what Exceptional Events are
• Understand the rights of the Parties if an Exceptional Event occurs
• Describe the insurances required by the Contract
