The AIAC is proud to support the following event.

"Construction Law Conference"

This Conference promises to provide participants with clear and informative construction law and practice updates. It will provide an invaluable opportunity for participants to discuss issues involving construction contract law and management, construction ADR and other important and current matters affecting the construction industry in Malaysia.

It has been an exciting period for the construction industry in the past few months which saw a number of important developments in the construction law and practice in Malaysia. These developments include the recent Federal Court decision in the case of Far East Holdings Bhd and Another v Majlis Ugama Islam dan Adat Resam Melayu Pahang and 2 Other Appeals that immediately drew contentious debates among arbitration practitioners and users of arbitration and resulted in the subsequent statutory changes made to our arbitration law by the enactment of Arbitration (Amendment) Act 2018 which came into effect on 8.5.2018. An equally crucial development can also be seen in the adjudication law such as the decision from the Federal Court in View Esteem Sdn Bhd v Bina Puri Holdings Sdn Bhd and the Court of Appeal decision in Bauer (M) Sdn Bhd v Jack-In-Pile (M) Sdn Bhd. These decisions had changed the prior law and practice in the statutory adjudication, which also at the same time, highlighted the distinct features in our adjudication regime that one do not see in the other jurisdictions having similar statutory adjudication regime. Besides the changes in the construction ADR, there have also been developments in the construction law touching on the usually controversial and fundamental construction issues such as extension of time, variation, liquidated damages and practical completion, as well as the recent revised versions of the various standard construction forms that are available in the Malaysian market. Adding to these exciting developments is the recent change in the Malaysian Government that will see major reforms to be made.

This Conference will discuss and advise on not only the legal and practical issues affecting the current construction practice but will also explore the challenges and opportunities which may be presented to the stakeholders in the Malaysian Construction Industry in the current economic and political environment.
