The respondent contractor entered into a construction contract with the appellant to build management offices.
The contractor advanced a claim for extras due to delays.
The application judge ordered the Project Engineer to consider a portion of the claim ($1,437,976), finding the contractor provided sufficient notice under the contract.
The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, holding that the application judge committed an extricable error of law by interpreting the contractual provision in isolation.
Read as a whole, the contract required detailed information to support a claim for extras, which the contractor failed to provide.
The application was dismissed and the claim for extra payment was declared barred.
