Frequently asked questions
What is decennial liability?
Under UAE law, contractors and architects can be jointly liable for ten years for total or partial collapse of buildings and defects that threaten their stability.
Are FIDIC time-bars enforced in the UAE?
They can be, but UAE courts and tribunals also apply mandatory civil-law principles. Always serve notices on time and take advice on late claims.
