Case study: ARBITRATION DISPUTE CROSS ARGUMENTS- PROJECTS that EPC CONTRACTS ARE NOT INTENDED TO- case study: Central Asia Natural Gas Pipeline megaproject Claimant/Respondant Argumentation. Study of the Substance of the EPC contract and main features preventing them from being used in certain projects. The huge assumptions of the Contractor (including site ground and unforeseeable events) makes EPC contracts not (supposedly) intended for variations and should be scope closed. Unfortunatelly the usual think is that the Contractors do engage in EPC contracts that will certainly lead to huge liquidated damages and eventIually trigger the bid/performance bonds with no/very limit resource to the contractor. Intensive ground/Underground. Flagship projects not previous experience. Drawings approval by the employer. No/uneffective procedure to Interim Payments upon milestones completion. Foreseeable intensive variations.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

1. CCDC 2 — A FOCUS ON 3 TOPICS
USING CASE STUDIES
8:30am – 10:00am
Presenters:
Oliver Hanson, Associate, Clark Wilson LLP
Samantha Ip, Partner, Clark Wilson LLP
Anna Sekunova, Associate, Clark Wilson LLP
3. • A change in the Work that is not included or contemplated in
the Contract Documents which adds to the scope of Contract
Work
• Contract Documents is a defined term – documents listed in
Article A‐3
• Article A‐3 – Contract, Definitions, GC’s, Plans,
Specifications, Drawings, etc…
2
4. • Objective test – proper interpretation of the Contract
Documents
• Would a reasonable contractor, reviewing the Contract
Documents, realize he would be required to perform certain
Work? If yes – then not an extra.
• If it can be inferred from the Contract description that other
undescribed work will be necessary to perform the Contract,
then the undescribed Work is generally not an extra
3
5. • GC 6.1.1 – The Owner has a right to make changes to the
Work and changes to the Contract Time by Change Order
• GC 6.1.2 ‐ Contractor shall not perform a change in the Work
without a Change Order or Change Directive
4
6. GC 6.2 – Change Order:
• For when the Owner and the Contractor agree to
adjustments in the Contract Time and Contract Price, or the
method to be used to determine the adjustments
• Separate agreement signed by the parties
5
7. GC 6.3 – Change Directive:
Owner compels Contractor to proceed with a change in the
Work
No agreement on adjustment to Contract Price or Contract
Time
CCDC2 ‐2008 added: “…Work within the general scope of
Contract Documents.”
6
8. GC 6.3 – Change Directive (con’t):
• GC 6.3.7 – Cost of performing the work in the Change
Directive shall be limited to the actual cost of the following….
• New 2008: Change Directive covers all costs and liabilities
attributable to the Change Directive …(GC 6.3.8)
7
9. GC 6.3 – Change Directive (con’t):
• GC 6.3.8 excludes costs caused by Contractor’s failure to
exercise reasonable care and diligence
• New 2008: Contractor required to maintain full and detailed
accounts and records to “prove” the change (GC 6.3.9)
8
10. GC 6.3 – Change Directive (con’t):
• New 2008: Owner has access rights to Contractor’s
“pertinent documents” related to the cost of performing the
work on the Change Directive (GC 6.3.10)
9
11. • Incomplete, wrong, and incompatible designs;
• Unclear or vague specifications;
• Unexpected site conditions;
• Shifting owner requirements for design, work scope or
scheduling;
• Updated construction methods;
• Changes to access and sequencing of the work;
• emergencies; and
• Changes mandated by regulatory authorities.
10
12. When there is agreement and documentation…
• Signed and agreed upon Change Order
• An agreed upon Change Directive
• No change documentation, but parties agree to an
adjustment in Contract Time or Contract Price
11
14. • Contractor has done extra work, but Owner has not issued
Change Order or Change Directive – will the extra work be
compensable?
• CCDC 2: Contractor shall not perform a change in the Work
without Change Order or Change Directive (GC 6.1.2)
13
15. • CCDC 2: The Contract supersedes all prior negotiations,
representations, or agreements, either written or oral,
relating …to the Work…(Article A‐2)
• CCDC 2: The Contract may be amended only as provided in
the Contract Documents
Is a change in the Work compensable as an extra when there
is no supporting “paperwork”?
14
16. • Owner wants to build a motel – asks a contractor to bid on
the project based on an original set of plans
• Contractor bids on the project based on those plans
• Owner then gives contractor additional specifications and
asked contractor to include specifications in the bid
• CCDC 2 contract signed – attaches both the original plans
and the additional specifications
• There were conflicts in the work between original plans and
additional specifications
• Some items in original plans were traded for items in
additional specifications
• Contract price did not change
15
17. • Other changes were made before and after contract was
signed – finished motel very different from original plans
• Plans, contract and price were not amended to reflect
changes
• Contractor was given a revised site plan after signing the
contract – owner told contractor he would pay for any extra
charges
• Multiple disputes arise – contractor claims for unpaid
contract price and extras, and owner counterclaims for delay
and deficiencies – the ``Classic``or ``Sam`s Special``
16
18. • Owner says:
• most of the extras are not ``extra`` to the contract as
contractor knew that work was required before the
contract was entered into and included in contract price
• Owner also says if work not included in contract then
not payable because no written change order
• The contract says: ``…all deviations or additions from or to
the plans and specifications …shall be approved, in advance,
in writing and signed by the Owner and Contractor with
agreed costs for such deviations and conditions…``
17
19. • Contract had standard change order provisions
• Defendant says:
• Owner knew changes had to be in writing, but he did not
want to spend extra money on administration
• Owner did not want to spend money revising plans
• Contractor asked for confirmation of changes in writing,
but did not receive them, and had to carry on with work
• He trusted the owner…
18
20. • General rule: parol evidence is inadmissible to vary written
agreement if contradicts written agreement
• If parties cannot stray from the written agreement, then
there should be no compensation for extras without written
change order or change directive
• Any guesses on what happened?
19
21. • Our B.C. Supreme Court found in favour of the contractor
• Key factors for decision:
• Both parties aware of contract terms on changes, and
both chose to ignore them
• Contractor requested written change orders and
revisions to plans but owner refused to provide
• No consultant on site to administer changes – so could
not follow contract procedure
• Owner supervised and requested changes
20
22. • In these circumstances, owner cannot rely on the contract
provisions that changes be in writing
• Moral of the Kei‐Ron story:
1) Reduce risk by following the contract
2) Be clear on what is included in contract work
3) Trust should not negate contract requirements
4) Confirm changes (or any issue) in writing, even if the form
of confirmation is not per contract requirements
21
23. 1. Was the work performed actually extra work? (did work fall
within scope of work originally contemplated by contract?)
2. If yes, did owner give instructions, either express or implied,
In determining liability for the cost of extra
that the work be done, or was the work otherwise
work, the first question to be answered is
authorized by the owner? performed was,extra11
whether the work in fact,
3. Was the owner informed or necessarily aware that theextra
work would increase the cost?
4. Did the owner waive the provision requiring changes to be
made in writing or acquiesce in ignoring these provisions?
22
24. 1. Ensure design is complete before tendering / bidding
2. Address any ambiguities before tendering / bidding in
writing – do not assume
3. Understand site conditions
4. Owners – beware of the low bid – could result in additional
changes
5. If other party refuses to confirm issue in writing, discuss
agreement and confirm it in writing to the other party
6. Use the Consultant for determining issues (GC 2.2.7 & 2.2.8)
before issues become disputes
7. Provide for quantification of changes as a supplementary
condition to avoid dispute
23
25. 8. Use supplementary conditions to address delay scenarios
not addressed in CCDC2
9. Avoid using Change Directive if possible – unresolved /
dispute
10. Contractors should have detailed pricing with appropriate
back up – prevent owner from using “improper
documentation” as reason to delay approval of change
11. Be clear on communications about the impact of a change
12. Contractors do not proceed with a change until instructions
to proceed confirmed in writing
13. Owners avoid verbal approval and expedite change
approval to avoid delay impact on project
24
26. 14. If no change order or change directive, then contractors
can consider:
• Seeking an agreement in writing to suspend the dispute
over the change and allow the Contractor to do the
extra work while preserving the right to resolve the
dispute later; or
25
27. If no change order or change directive, then contractors can
consider:
• Do the Work Under Protest:
• Section 62 of B.C.’s Law and Equity Act
– If dispute arises between parties to a contract respecting the
obligations of a party, the party whose obligations are disputed
may, within a reasonable period of time after being informed that
performance is required, provide the demanding party with
notice of intention to perform the disputed requirements under
protest. The right to claim payment is preserved.
– Act allows contracting parties to specify rules for protest notice.
26
28. • CCDC 2 – GC 8.1.3: If a dispute is not resolved promptly:
• The Consultant must give any instructions necessary for the
proper performance of the Work to prevent delays pending
settlement of the dispute.
• The parties are required to follow instructions immediately
but their rights to make claims are not jeopardized.
• If it is subsequently determined that the Consultant’s
instructions were in error or at variance with the Contract
Documents, the Owner must pay the Contractor the costs
incurred in carrying out the instructions beyond what the
Contract Documents properly required.

any specific matter, client or fact pattern.
