Catchwords
Construction Contract - Non-payment - Snagging List - Delay Compensation - Ramadan Working - Outside Working Rules
This case involved claims by a contractor where final payment instalments had not been made because the two parties were unable to agree the snagging list. There was also a counterclaim by the client which included delay compensation. Delays factored into this included ramadan and summer working rules, and the impact of the family moving back into the property while work was being carried out.
