Why are notices decisive?
Many contracts make timely notice a condition. Missed notices are the usual battleground. We consider whether the clause is strict and whether the employer's conduct waived it.
What goes into a good EOT application?
A clear event, link to the critical path, programme analysis and supporting records. A vague claim is easy to refuse.
What if the extension is refused?
Challenge it through the contract's procedure and keep programme records. The refusal's effect on liquidated damages should be assessed. See liquidated damages.
