Employer delay
The term ‘employer delay’ is commonly used to describe any delay caused by an employer risk event (an event or cause of delay or disruption which under the contract is at the risk and responsibility of the Employer).
The Society of Construction Law Delay and Disruption Protocol, 2nd edition, distinguishes between:
- Employer delay to progress, which is a delay that will merely cause delay to the contractor’s progress without causing a contract completion date to be missed.
- Employer delay to completion, which is a delay that will cause a contract completion date to be missed.
The expression 'excusable delay' is sometimes used to describe an employer delay in
respect of which the contractor is entitled to an extension of time.
