Covid '19 Fidic & Oman Conditions
GENERALLY
The conditions of contract do not operate in isolation but are subject to the overriding Laws of
Oman and this may be relevant.
Similarly changes in the Law means genuine legal changes to the laws of Oman, not just
recommendations or suggestions.
FIDIC CONTRACTS
Force Majeure:
Oman Standard Conditions does not have a stated “force majeure” clause, many FIDIC based
contracts do have such clause. However, most FIDIC contracts in Oman are modified in the
particular conditions to limit “Force Majeure” to events which occur within Oman. In this case,
events which occur outside Oman are not force majeure but need to be dealt with under other
clauses of the contract.
If the Contractor considers himself to be entitled to an extension of the Time for Completion, the
Contractor shall give notice to the Engineer in accordance with Sub Clause 20.1 [Contractor’s
Claims].
