How construction contract disputes arise
With Africa’s integration into the global economy in a variety of sectors, international companies often contract with African companies and States to provide construction expertise within the oil and gas, traditional power, nuclear and renewable energy markets.
In some cases, parties subject to contractual agreement will have disputes concerning construction contracts and operation and maintenance contracts (and ancillary documentation) as well as power purchase agreements and energy conversion agreements, EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) and O&M (Operations & Maintenance) contracts (and all other construction and engineering related agreements).
Arbitrating construction disputes
When companies working in Africa have disputes, they are often obliged to resort to arbitration as a means of dispute resolution by the terms of the contract to which they are party. The terms of the agreement typically dictate the seat of the arbitration and all applicable arbitration rules.
