It's not you. It's me! Terminating contractors for convenience in the UAE

Abstract

This dissertation examines the potential conflict between standard construction contract clauses on termination for convenience and the UAE Civil Code provisions which could override them. Is there a loophole for Contractors to exploit when terminated for Convenience? Is it lawful for an employer to terminate a contract essentially because the financing is not available or simply because the project is no longer feasible? The study will involve a critical analysis of the local law provisions in relation to terminating construction projects with respect to standard industry norms.
