Quinn Smith of Smith International Legal Consultants in Miami (now GST LLP) expressed pleasure with the result of arbitration regarding construction and delivery of a power plant by US engineer Bechtel to Brazil. He stated that his clients, Brazilian power associations “rely on complex, turn-key contracts with similar provisions across the sector. Defining ’substantial completion’ to include mechanical completion and final testing gives certainty to the power producers and fulfils the intentions of the contract.”
