Abstract
A failure trial operation for a construction project usually leads to possible disputes. The study objective is to identify which party needs to bear the liability under the following circumstances based on the risk allocation concept by force majeure clause, and personnel injury/death or other collateral damage. The comprehensive literature review brings out comparability among past verdicts and targeted investigation, and then yields suggestions for conducting the expert survey based on questionnaire, resulting in 8 stems with 5-scale Likert measurement to develop the proposed concept. There are 50 effective returns that establish 4 types of resolutions for disputes caused by construction projects in Taiwan. The empirical case involving in a disputed trial operation for a massive rapid transit (MRT) construction project is adopted to verify its feasibility. The findings demonstrate the guideline for practitioners to deal with possible disputes caused by construction projects.
Keywords: construction dispute, trial operation, MRT construction project, contract management
