INTRODUCTION

This seminar looks at how a claim arises and how contractors are required by the modern forms of contract to keep strict records and provide proper notification of claims situations.

The typical types of extensions of time are addressed and the difficult issue of concurrent overlapping delays by both Employer and Contractor is explained. The three main types of evidence which may be used in support of or in defence of claims situations are analysed and explained. The importance of record keeping is highlighted and what is required of the Contractor where the contract calls for the maintenance of ”contemporary records”.

The role of the contractual programming requirements in the day to day situation and in the claim situation is discussed and the use of programming techniques in claims for delay and disruption are discussed by way of examples.
