The contract for the £2.6m construction works at Denham Place had a completion date of 12 February 2004. Damages for any delay would run at £1000 a day. Vascroft Contractors called on the architect to use the JCT extension of time machinery since, by now, the job was 546 days past the completion date. The architect awarded none of it. Vascroft called for the adjudicator. Its notice of adjudication pointed to the information previously put to the architect and asked for the 546-day extension. The adjudicator awarded none of it. He said that there was insufficient evidence placed before him to prove any extension. That's that.
