Penalty and compensation for damage in the FIDIC contract 1999
Penalty and compensation for damage in the FIDIC contract is always a hot issue in contract disputes settlement.
The two issues of Penalty and Compensation for damage caused by the breach of this Contract’s obligations are also of topics often discussed by law practitioners but have not yet found a common voice.
Commonly discussed issues include:
- What is the violation penalty?
- What is the basis for applying the violation penalty?
- Is there a limit on the fine for violations?
- Is it possible to apply a Penalty and Compensation for Damage at the same time?
- Is it possible to fix the damage with the agreement of the parties?
- Is the compensation agreement violated the law, í it declared valid?
- What is the total value of the applicable fines and damages?
- For construction contracts, will the Construction Law, Commercial Law, or Civil Code be the governing law?
While, in Vietnam, the precedent on Penalty and Compensation for damage has not been born yet. Therefore, the application of the law is still different, inconsistent, and lengthy.
In particular, the question of whether the dispute in a construction contract is governed by Construction Law, Civil Law, or Commercial Law has not yet come to the end.
It is not uncommon for courts to use the provisions of Commercial Law to adjudicate and the application of such legal provisions is not correct. The Decision on Cassation No. 12/2019/KDTM-GDT dated September 24, 2019 is an example of the Court’s position on this issue.
