520 _aIn standard construction contracts the contractor is allowed an extension of time for certain specified events. Considers the obligation of the architect who decides if and what extension of time is due. Examines "Royal Brompton Hospital NHS Trust v Watkins Gray International" (2000) which centred around a claim by the hospital that W was in breach of contract, or negligent in granting extensions of time.
