It includes chapters dealing with the principles for extensions of time, financial claims (including for variations or compensation events), common law and global claims, employer claims, duties of the employer’s representative, substantiating claims, claims for time and money under the JCT 2016 and NEC4 contracts and sub-contracts, and claims for professional fees.
