The engineer’s task is to take necessary measures to ensure that the contract is performed correctly and on time. But not all actions by the engineer will directly affect the investor’s own rights and obligations.

Proper exercise of the function of contract engineer is crucial for the success of any construction project. The scope of the engineer’s obligations and the impartial attitude required of the engineer toward issues arising on the construction site are also reflected in the rights of the parties to the contract.

The content of a procurement subcontract is shaped not only by the intent of the parties, but also by the Public Procurement Law, the Civil Code, the terms of reference for the procurement, and the actions taken by the contracting authority.

The Supreme Court has ruled that cases seeking refund of a bid bond lie within the jurisdiction of the civil courts, finally resolving doubts surrounding the legal recourse a contractor should follow to reclaim a deposit retained by the contracting authority.

In public procurement proceedings, a party dissatisfied with a ruling of the National Appeal Chamber will still have to pay high fees for judicial review.
