TWO MASSIVE ARBITRATION — TWO VERY DIFFERENT STORIES - ONE HARD TRUTH .
Mega construction disputes do not fail because contractors lack effort. They fail because strategy breaks down under pressure.
These two books examine two of the most instructive arbitrations of the last decade, arising from mega-projects of similar scale, complexity, and ambition — yet ending in very different outcomes.
In WCT v Meydan, the contractor did not win because it proved everything.
It won because it claimed only what could be enforced.
In OHLA v Sidra, the contractor did not lose because the project was easy.
It lost because scale, optimism, and design risk overwhelmed entitlement.
Both projects were terminated.
Both went to international arbitration.
Both involved enormous claims, complex facts, and years of litigation.
Yet one contractor walked away paid.
The other walked away technically alive — but commercially defeated.
These books are not about law.
They are about decision-making under dispute.
They show:
how claims shrink in arbitration,
why courts do not rescue disappointed contractors,
and why restraint beats ambition when money is at stake.
Read together, they form a single lesson:
In construction arbitration, winning is rarely about being right.
It is about being paid.
That is the essence of these two cases — and the reason they belong together.
