Over the course of this Construction Law Conversation Series, we will invite speakers from across the globe to discuss legal developments and trends in the construction industry, focussing on key jurisdictions and markets.

In the fourth episode of the series, Partner Paul Sandosham and Senior Associate Kenneth Tay in Singapore delve into notable construction cases decided by the Singapore courts in 2022.

How will courts receive arguments that COVID-19 was a force majeure event? How does an employer or main contractor ensure that procedural conditions for extensions of time or variations are complied with, and how can they minimise the risk of waiving such conditions? How should we document "back-to-back" contracts? What impact do liquidated provisions have on the decision to terminate? Paul and Kenneth share their insights on these questions, and distil practical tips for project managers, contract managers, and legal counsel.
