Certificate is central to the time bar rule - 2001 - Construction News (6736) 4 October 2001, 12(1) .

Examines the case, "Scottish Equitable v Miller Construction" which addresses the definiton of time-bar periods in relation to loss and expense claims. The Court of Session Inner House found that the time-bar period does not begin to run until the issue of a relevant certificate; the time period is reset each time a new certificate is issued; and therefore the time period does not start from the date of the relevant event resulting in loss and expense. Emphasises the importance of issuing final certifcates.
