The UAE's new Civil Code, effective from June 2026, expands the force majeure framework and introduces a hardship mechanism for construction and engineering contracts, allowing contract modification for temporary or partial impossibility rather than requiring total performance or contract termination.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new legal landscape in UAE infrastructure projects where temporary disruption can now lead to contract adjustments, easing risk but requiring closer legal oversight of project terms and timelines.
