By: Series: Contract Journal ; 414(6386) 17 July 2002, 21(1)Publication details: Subject(s): Summary: Looks at recent case "Motherwell Bridge Construction v Micafil Vakuumtechnik" [2002] which deals with the concurrent delays arising after the date for completion of the works. Implies that a contractor may be entitled to an extension of time for a relevant delay event, regardless of other delays caused by the contractor. In determining the effect of such delays after the date for completion, it may be correct to take into account the incidence of the delaying event and thus award a full extension of time, if that is considered fair and reasonable.
