When Belgian law applies to the contract, we can advise on your contractual position. For non-Belgian contractors, it is important to know that, in addition to the contract terms and conditions, Belgian contract law and the Belgian law on obligations apply. Additional rights and remedies might be available based on statutory provisions.
