Abstract :
With the development of theory and practice of the international project claim management, the contractor carrying out the contract claims is no longer based solely on the contract agreement, but rather towards the combination of contractual and legal trends. In FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Civil Engineering Construction (Red Book, 1987 edition), there has a more comprehensive description and requirements of the rights of the employer, engineer and the contractor. So the specific acts of the parties involved the contract may result in "Breach of Contract" and trigger claims of time and cost. In this paper, according to a further analysis of a series of claim cases based on the Red Book we have studied the background of the contractual and legal of "Breach of Contract" in depth.
