What are two differences between a notice and other communications under the FIDIC Red Book (edition 2017)? (2 correct answers apply)
Choose all of the correct answers (multiple possibilities).
A.
Notice is a defined term, while other communications are not defined as a term in the General Conditions.
B.
Contractually there is no difference between a notice and other communications.
C.
Both 'Notice' and 'Other Communications' are defined terms under the Conditions of Contract.
D.
The Parties and Engineer shall be given original or copy of any Notice, Notice of Dissatisfaction (NOD) and Certificates, which is not always the case for other communications.
Option A is correct: “Notice” is a defined term under FIDIC 2017 Red Book; “Other Communications” is a separate category, also defined but distinct.
Option D is correct: Notices, Notices of Dissatisfaction, and Certificates require delivery to all Parties and the Engineer, whereas other communications may not have such strict requirements.
Option B is incorrect as there are contractual differences.
Option C is partially correct but “Other Communications” and “Notice” are distinct terms, so A is more precise.
