520			_aExamines how a further fuel crisis could impact on contractors in terms of resulting work delays, and questions whether construction contracts contain suitable time extension clauses for such events. Highlights the relevant clauses in GC/Works/1 (Clause 36(2)) and JCT98 (Clauses 25.4.10 and 25.4.4), but suggests that in the case of JCT 1998 contracts, contractors are not necessarily safeguarded, and are expected to use their best endeavours to prevent delay even if granted a time extension. Lists five key points contractors should consider to protect themselves in the event of a fuel shortage.
