ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines the legal environment in Malaysia – the constitutional structure, the legal system, and the court system. Applicable legislation in Malaysia is identified for three situations: (1) the governing law is that of the jurisdiction, (2) the Site/Country is in the jurisdiction, and (3) the “seat” of the dispute determination is the jurisdiction. The specific requirements of applicable legislation in Malaysia are used to identify what Particular Conditions are necessary or desirable for consistency with applicable laws for the above three situations when executing a FIDIC Contract.
