Majd Nasrallah discusses the Saudi legal landscape in this article for International Construction Law Review entitled “Exploring the Saudi Legal Landscape: An In-Depth Examination of the New Civil Transactions Law in the Context of FIDIC Time Bar Clauses”. He explores the intersection of FIDIC contracts and the duty of good faith in Saudi Arabia with an analysis that delves into the compatibility of time bar clauses within the region’s legal principles, particularly under the new Saudi Civil Transactions Law. By comparing Saudi Arabia’s legal framework with neighbouring jurisdictions that blend Sharia law and Civil Code elements, the research highlights key alignments, challenges, and shared considerations shaping the legal landscape of the Middle East.
The International Construction Law Review is the leading authority on international construction law and provides critical information in areas ranging from procurement, project partnering, subcontracting, environmental issues, delay and disruption in construction contracts, trends in dispute resolution and alternatives to the FIDIC conditions.
