Dear All
1- Once the Contractor has submitted an Interim EoT Claim
2- The Engineer has accepted that to review
3- Responds to the contractor that the claim is being reviewed
The contractual / revised finish date is considered withhold / null & void (can no more be considered as Contractual).
Is the above statement right? Either case please provide some reference and evidence if possible

Dear Mr. Tastro
I apologize on words in my post “please provide some reference and evidence if possible” as your words are always a reference, at least for me. Thank you very much for your guidance.

Hi Tanveer
The latest contractual completion date stands until a further EoT is awarded.
This is a fundamental rule in construction contracts.
Remember that the sole purpose of EoT clause(s) is to protect the employer's right to deduct LD's if he delays the works.
If there are no EoT clauses to extend the completion date for Employer's mistakes then time is at large.
Again this is a fundamental principle based on Acts of Prevention.
Best regards
Mike Testro
