A paper presented to the Society of Construction Law at a meeting in London on 7th April 2009.
James Bremen's paper seeks to provide a guide to the application of established English law concepts in the Gult Cooperation Council countries (GCC) jurisdictions and to highlight important similarities and differences. He considers the law that might apply to a construction contract in the GCC countries, the types of legal regime and the differences between common law and civil law systems.
