| 释义 | 時限已過 In building and construction law, the situation in which (1) a building contractor is prevented from completing by the time specified in the contract by an act of the employer or an act for which the employer is responsible under the contract such as a breach of contract but which does not have to extend to ordering additional or varied work (Balfour Beatty Building Ltd v Chestermount Properties Ltd (1993) 62 BLR 1); (2) a building contract contains provisions enabling the time for completion to be extended and thus to preserve the right to damages for failure to complete on time (Peak Construction (Liverpool) Ltd v McKinney Foundations Ltd (1970) 69 LGR 1, 1 BLR 114 (CA), notwithstanding the occurrence of an act of prevention, and either (a) the act of prevention which occurs is not one which enables time to be extended; or (b) the machinery for extending time has not been operated properly (or cannot be saved by, for example, the operation of an arbitration clause) or cannot be operated at all because the architect or engineer has not been appointed or reappointed to determine the amount of the extension of time. See also Building contract; Contractor; Practical completion; Prevention principle; Proprietor; Time stipulation. |
