Extensions of time and liquidated damages
In Carillion Construction Ltd v Woods Bagot Europe Ltd [2016] EWHC 905 (TCC), Miss Recorder Nerys Jefford QC sitting as a
Judge of the Technology and Construction Court held that any additional period of time to which the defendant was entitled
in order to complete the works was to be added contiguously to the end of the period so as to provide an aggregate period
within which the sub-contract works should be completed. She also held that the effect of a supplemental agreement had not
been to extinguish a claim for liquidated damages.
