Section 6Compensation Events

Clause 61.3

Notification by Contractor

Purpose

The Contractor notifies the PM of a CE within eight weeks of becoming aware. Late notification is a complete bar to entitlement.

Practical Application

This is the most common procedural trap. The period runs from awareness of the event, not from when full impacts are known.

Common Pitfalls

EIGHT WEEKS IS A DEADLINE. Failure = complete loss of entitlement. Notify early, even without full details.
