520 _aConsiders whether the recent national fuel crisis gives contractors the chance to secure extensions of time on their contracts. Looks in particular at the meaning of 'relevant events', analogous to JCT 1998 cl 25.4.4. Suggests that the fuel crisis does not give contractors the chance to secure extensions, because the truck drivers' actions do not clearly come under 'relevant events'. Close scrutiny suggests that the force majeure clause would also be of no help to contractors.
