25 years ago, construction of Singapore’s MRT system commenced using a modified FIDIC Form of Contract. This was the first time that the concept of “conditions which could not reasonably have been foreseen” became widely debated in the local construction industry. It was also, very nearly, 25 years ago that the Speaker arrived in Singapore.

The initial enthusiasm for “Clause 12 claims” has subsided and many contractors are now deeply sceptical about the prospects of demonstrating that adverse conditions could not have been reasonably foreseen. Using actual examples from the past 25 years, the Speaker will explain the principles and common pitfalls in the context of adverse conditions frequently encountered in Singapore. After the presentation, we will convene the AGM for voting members only.
