Case studies
River Works Project (Framework Contract)
We delivered works under a long-term framework contract where unexpected site conditions caused significant delay and additional cost. A Compensation Event was raised and initially agreed but later challenged, creating potential for formal dispute.
The issue was resolved at senior level through constructive engagement and reference to supporting case law, with the client agreeing a settlement that closed the matter without recourse to adjudication or dispute.
