The FIDIC Forms of Contractby Nael G. Bunni
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2008; US$ 239.99In September 1999, FIDIC introduced its new Suite of Contracts, which included a “new” Red, Yellow, Silver and Green forms of contract. The “new” Red Book was intended to replace the 1992 fourth edition of the Red Book, with the ambition that its use would cease with time.
