On March 10 of this year, a master class dedicated to one of the most pressing topics in jurisprudence – “The importance of construction contracts in the Civil Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan and its role in practice” – was held at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy. This event was organized by the Head of the Department of Civil Law and International Private Law Disciplines, Sh. Masadikov, and professor of the same Department N. Raimova, with the aim of enriching students’ theoretical knowledge through real legal cases and analyzing contemporary trends in this field.

Industry experts participated in the master class with their reports: Munira Ismoilova, a corporate lawyer from the “Lawpower” law firm, and Zamira Allambergenova, a master’s student in the “International Business Law” direction at UWED. Along with the professors and teachers of the “Civil Law and International Private Law Disciplines” department, 2nd-year students of the “International Law” faculty actively participated and exchanged views on subtle legal aspects (nuances) in the field.

During the session, the concept of the construction contract, the specific procedures for its formation, and the mutual rights and obligations of the parties were comprehensively analyzed through the prism of the Civil Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Using real-life examples, the speakers highlighted typical practical errors made in formalizing contracts specifically in the fields of construction and services, as well as issues of liability for latent defects arising during the acceptance of the work result.

Furthermore, effective legal mechanisms for resolving disputes arising from contractual relations in our national legislation were at the center of the discussion at the meeting. This scientific-practical dialogue is distinguished by its harmony with the ideas of Sustainable Development Goal 9 – “Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure” and Goal 16 – “Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions”. It was specifically emphasized that the legal stability of infrastructure projects is the main guarantee for sustainable construction and quality industrialization in our country.

At the end of the event, conclusions were drawn on how closely the principles of SDG target 16.3 – “Ensuring the rule of law and expanding access to justice” – are linked with the freedom of contract and equality of parties in civil law. Undoubtedly, such master classes serve to raise legal awareness among future specialists and ensure the strong integration of theory and practice.
