This Practice Note contains a jurisdiction-specific Q&A guide to commercial contracts in Egypt published as part of the Lexology Getting the Deal Through series by Law Business Research (published: January 2022). Authors: Eldib Advocates—Richard G Tibichrani; Mohamed Abdel Rehim 1. Is there an obligation to use good faith when negotiating a contract? Article 148/1 of the Egyptian Civil Law No. 131/1948 stated that the performance of contractual obligations must be done in good faith by both parties concerned. Consequently, the principle of good faith is recognised by Egyptian legislation and hence, the courts, even if the contract did not state this principle. Such recognition is thought to extend to include the precontractual phase. 2. How are ‘battle of the forms’ disputes resolved in your jurisdiction? Under Egyptian legislation, the Egyptian courts will conclude that the latest version of a contract before the performance of obligations is the contract concluded between the concerned parties. Interestingly, it was argued before the Court of Appeal that the terms and conditions listed in the bill of lading of a

This Practice Note sets out the functions of bills of quantities (‘BoQs’) in the JCT forms of contract, what parties should consider and what BoQs contain, as well as some practical tips. It looks primarily at the 2024 editions of the JCT forms of contract, but similar provisions are found in earlier editions. The JCT defines Contract Bills (eg in clause 1.1 and the Second Recital, JCT Standard Building Contract With Quantities 2024) as ‘the fully priced bills of quantities referred to in the Second Recital’. More generally, BoQs are schedules that detail units, quantities, rates and totals for items of work, materials, components and labour which are itemised in accordance with an industry-recognised standard method of measurement. BoQs are usually prepared by the Employer’s consultant and are based upon the drawings and specifications issued at tender. They are issued with the tender to enable all contractors to price based on the same information. The difference between the JCT definition of Contract Bills and BoQs is that JCT refers

This Practice Note is for use when determining applicable law where the contract was entered into on or after 1 January 2021. For contracts entered into before 1 January 2021, a different applicable law regime will be applied by the UK courts. Which regime is applied will depend on the date on which the contract was entered into. For guidance on the different regimes and their interrelationship, see Practice Note: Applicable law regimes. This Practice Note refers to UK Rome I, Regulation (EC) 593/2008. Originally known as Retained Rome I, since 1 January 2024, it is known as Assimilated Rome I—the change is to the name only and not the provisions within the regulation. Authorities may refer to the regulation using either name and so, for ease of reference, the regulation is referred to as UK Rome I in this Practice Note. For information on assimilated law, see Practice Note: Assimilated law. This Practice Note provides an explanation as to when and why UK Rome I, Regulation (EC) 593/2008 was introduced.

As summarised in: Unjust enrichment and restitution—overview, restitution is concerned with reversing one party’s unfair or unjust benefit obtained at the expense of another party. Practice Note: Unjust enrichment—elements of the claim sets out the key requirements when bringing a claim for unjust enrichment. It is not a prerequisite to a claim for unjust enrichment that the defendant must have acted in a wrongful way, but that their retention of the gain they have obtained at the claimant’s expense is unjust. This may be, eg, where the claimant mistakenly made a payment to the defendant through no wrongful act on the part of the defendant. Practice Note: Unjust enrichment—defences includes, among available defences, the defence that the defendant has changed their position as a result of the enrichment or that the defendant is a bona fide purchaser for good value, itself having given good consideration for that which it has received, even if this has been at the claimant’s expense. However, there are other claims for restitution which are predicated on some element of wrongdoing
