Summary

Claims can be an emotional subject, and the contractual provisions enabling a contractor to claim reimbursement for the cost of disruption or prolongation are often misunderstood. What's more, those responsible for administering the contract, as well as contractors and sub-contractors, frequently fail to grasp the principles involved. This book looks at some of the problems that arise in the making and settling of prolongation and disruption claims. It also deals with the related problems of extensions of time and liquidated and ascertained damages. It covers most of the standard building and civil engineering contracts.
