COVID-19 has had an unprecedented impact on all of us in the construction industry as we adapt to the rapidly changing situation and deal with the substantial impact on our businesses. This guide contains a summary of the latest legal updates affecting the construction industry and which were introduced as a result of COVID-19 in selected APAC jurisdictions. In particular, you will find a quick summary of the key recent laws, regulations and other directives introduced relating to:
- Construction project/ site-related issues;
- Construction supply-related issues;
- Operations in the local courts, arbitration centres and other dispute resolution institutions; and
- Any other key changes in the local legislation or COVID-19 related measures that may affect construction operations.
The sources used to prepare this guide are numerous and varied, and are identified for reference purposes. We understand the contents of this update to be accurate at the date of issuance of this guide.
