The Cold War: NEC and Adverse Weather Conditions
Latest weather reports have indicated that cold wintry weather is going to be experienced across the UK.
This is likely to have an impact on Construction and Engineering works.

- Employers and Developers to understand Entitlement and Liability Principles
- Contractors and Sub-Contractors to properly assess and present any claim for Adverse Weather Conditions, and demonstrate the causal link between cause and effect; otherwise the claim is likely to fail.

David’s Article includes:

- Which days of Adverse Weather are taken into account when assessing the Compensation Event?
