Abstract | Granting extensions of time ('EOTs') for completion of projects is always an important decision for contractors and employers. In a recent Court of First Instance case, Metrowell Holdings Ltd v Perrin Development Ltd liability was imposed on an architect following his grant of an EOT which was found to have adversely impacted third-party rights under subsequent purchase and sale agreements for the project. In this regard, Metrowell Holdings relied upon another fairly recent case decided in the Court of Final - Global Time Investments v Super Keen Investments Ltd. Their importance warrants a review of Global Time Investments along with Metrowell Holdings as together they confirm some very bad news for architects. |
