Concurrent Delay — The Owner’s Newest Defense Presented by:
James G. Zack, Jr., Executive Director, Navigant Construction Forum™
Emily Federico, Associate Director, Navigant Consulting
When owners impose liquidated damages at the end of a delayed project, contractors typically respond with allegations of concurrent delay. That is, they argue, some or all of the project delay was actually caused either by the owner or an outside force that forgives liquidated damages. As owners generally do not impose liquidated damages until the end of the project, the contractor’s claim of concurrent delay frequently is not submitted until the project is complete. This program examines how concurrent delay is asserted by contractors to defend against owner assessment of liquidated damages. Attend this information-packed, 90-minute program to: - Understand exactly what the “Doctrine of Concurrent Delay” is
- Learn the impact of concurrent delay on liquidated damages
- Explore the owner’s newest defenses against claims of concurrent delay
- Discover the contractor’s risk of filing delay claims at the end of the project
- Review two court decisions to remind owners of legal defenses they should employ to defend against allegations of concurrent delay
- Get practical tips for contractors when facing potential delay to avoid claims
- And much, much more!
