The Western Australian Supreme Court upheld a strict time bar even in circumstances where the contractor would otherwise have been entitled to an extension of time. The case serves as a reminder that clearly drafted time bars will bite if parties do not put their notices in on time. The case also stands for the proposition that a clearly drafted extension of time regime may exclude the operation of the prevention principle, meaning that the contractor will take the risk of accelerating in circumstances where no extension of time is granted.
