In Part 2 of their analysis of delay claims in data centre construction, Fenwick Elliott partner Edward Foyle and GBSQD partner Ahmed Elkordy share guidance on what to do when the delays occur, how to manage delays on the project and how to make a claim in respect of critical delay caused.
In Part 1 of their analysis of delay claims in data centre construction, Fenwick Elliott partner Edward Foyle and GBSQD partner Ahmed Elkordy examine how and why data centre construction differs from traditional sectors, identify common causes of delay and explore how these delays impact progress.
We continue to see a high demand for data centres. Far from being ‘big sheds with lots of M&E’, they are technically complex, challenging projects which can give rise to all manner of legal issues and disputes. In this webinar, Lyndon Smith and Philip Hancock provide a practical guide to avoiding some of these potential pitfalls.
Was the adjudicator bound by an earlier decision? Were the liability issues raised in the EOT claim the same, the second time around?
Were the disputes in Adjudications 5 and 6 the same? Did the adjudicator have jurisdiction to formulate the award on an alternative basis?
Had the adjudicator failed to consider matters of loss and expense relied on as a defence to the claim? If so, was that a breach of natural justice?
Do third parties have a right to adjudicate?
Philip Hancock discusses the issues associated with data centre construction, particularly relevant as demand increases through investment into artificial intelligence.
George Boddy looks at one of the perennial challenges to adjudicators’ decisions – breaches of natural justice.
Lyndon Smith considers the key issues that need to be considered in the construction of data centres, which are increasingly reliant on sustainable practices.
