Hi Craig

You are in the wrong forum.

Re set your query in the Forensic claims section and then I will delete this one.

Can anyone enligten me on these issues please?

 

When a contractor puts in a delay, that is down to the Client, are the effects of the delay based on the latest programme (and therefore the float at that time) or on the original baselined / contract programme and float?

 

Further, when the Client receives an updated programme from the contractor (that shows slippage from the agreed Completion dates) if he doen't formally reject the programme is he accepting/agreeing to it?  That is to say, 'silence is acceptance?'

Hi Geoff

I assume that you mean EoT disputes.

The whole point of the NEC suite is that there should be no disputes if the contract has been administered correctly.

You will have a problem if your side of the contract was in any way negligent in following the programming procedure.

As far as I am aware there is very little case law on the topic - so why not google Atkinson Law and search their knowledge base.

Best regards

Mike T.
