Practice notesThis Practice Note considers termination by the Contractor under the FIDIC Red, Yellow and Silver Books 1999, the Gold Book 2008 and the Pink Book 2010. It does not address the right to terminate at law. Further, the governing law of the Contract may affect the operation of some of the clauses.
In relation to the 2017 editions of the Red, Yellow and Silver Books, see Practice Note: FIDIC contracts 2017—termination by the Contractor.
Who can terminate?
Both the Employer and the Contractor may terminate the Contract. Clause 15 sets out the procedure for Employer termination and Clause 16 sets out the procedure for Contractor termination. Termination is also addressed in Sub-Clauses 9.4, 11.4 and 19.6, and in Sub-Clause 10.7 of the FIDIC Gold Book. For more information about termination by the Employer, see Practice Note: FIDIC contracts (pre-2017 editions)—termination by the Employer.
The Contractor may terminate for cause or as a result of Force Majeure. It may not terminate for convenience.
