Abstract

In contrast with other types of contracts such as the sale of goods, international construction contracts or Engineering, Construction and Procurement contracts (commonly referred to as EPC contracts) are not governed by an international convention. Consequently, in most cases the EPC contract, further to an applicable law clause, refers to a set of general conditions of contract drafted by various international organisations. The present paper deals with the laws and regulations governing EPC contracts to be performed in different countries worldwide, as well as some aspects of the most recent trends in the resolution of disputes related thereto. It aims to evaluate how the discipline of sustainability may impact on the negotiation, drafting and performance of EPC contracts as well as on the management and solution of disputes arising therefrom.
