Filing a request................................................................................................................................3

1. Introduction

1.1. In the first instance, Parties to a FIDIC contract are to appoint the members of a DAAB, DAB, DB or an Adjudicator by agreement. Where that is not possible, FIDIC contracts provide that an “appointing entity or official” will make an appointment upon request of either or both Parties. The default mechanism is that the President of FIDIC or a person appointed by the President, shall be the appointing official.

1.2. The President of FIDIC is prepared to make appointments if by agreement of the Parties this authority is delegated to the President of FIDIC and all pre-requisites in the contract have been met.

1.3. FIDIC maintains a President’s List of Approved Dispute Adjudicators and will only select or appoint members or Adjudicator from this List.

1.4. These rules apply where FIDIC is asked to make appointment.
