Under the FIDIC Yellow Book (both editions), the Contract is administered by the Employer (unless it appoints an Employer's Representative) who endeavours to reach agreement with the Contractor on each claim. Is this statement true or false?
This statement is true. The Employer administers the contract unless an Employer’s Representative or Engineer is appointed to act on its behalf. The Employer (or its Representative) is responsible for reviewing and negotiating claims in good faith with the Contractor to reach agreement, in line with FIDIC procedures.
