SCLHK ONE DAY INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2023

Venue:
The theme for this year’s conference is Collaborative Contracting: Fostering Trust and Efficiency in Construction Projects.

In 2001, the Tang Report recommended a partnering approach to construction in Hong Kong to improve the delivery of construction projects on time, within budget and met specified quality standards. In 2009, the HK Government introduced the first NEC pilot for the Fuk Man Road Nullah Improvement in Sai Kung. The pilot project was a success. Since then, the Development Bureau alongside various works departments had extended the NEC form to various works categories. Over the years, various private entities have also introduced collaborative contracting. This year’s conference will look at what Hong Kong has learnt so far in running collaborative contracts, issues arising from such contracts and its dispute resolution mechanism.

Competition law in construction: common pitfalls and how to avoid them

Venue:
Mr. Thomas Lee, on behalf of the Society of Construction Law Hong Kong (SCLHK) invites you to an evening seminar. In recent years, the construction sector has been the subject of close regulatory attention from competition law authorities around the world, as seen from the high-profile and large-scale probes into infringements of competition law (through so-called "cartels"). In Asia, jurisdictions such as Japan and Korea have had a steady track record of enforcement in the construction sector for many years, whilst enforcement in Hong Kong and China has also increased rapidly. Cartel cases in the construction sector often involve a range of anti-competitive behaviour including price fixing, market sharing, bid rigging and the exchange of competitively sensitive information. In this presentation, we will take a closer look at how competition law risks can materialize in the construction sector, and explore ways in which companies can guard against these risks.

Pace Oddity: An exploration of the risks and opportunities associated with slowing down works (Pacing Delays)

Venue:
The Society of Construction Law Hong Kong invites you to an evening webinar on Pacing Delays. In this seminar, our speakers, one a lawyer and one a delay expert, probe the potential consequences of a Contractor's decision to decelerate some or all of its Works in response to a delay event for which the Employer is responsible. While in some cases deceleration is likely to be a 'no-brainer', there are risks associated with such a decision, for example, if another delay event occurs or a dispute arises. In current circumstances, where global supply chains have been impacted by COVID-related measures, it is likely that the question of pacing and deceleration will be raised more frequently. In particular, this seminar will consider some of the ways Employers and Contractors might gain or lose from 'pacing delays' as well as the contractual provisions that might come in to play when pacing occurs. It will also consider how critical path analysis, and treatment of concurrent delays, may be impacted by a decision to pace.
