This assignment explores the 'Time at Large' principle in construction law. It examines how contractual deadlines affect project completion, potential legal ramifications for delays (including cases like Multiplex Constructions (UK) Ltd v Honeywell Control Systems Ltd [2013] and Trollope & Colls Ltd v North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board [1973]), and the argument that the principle is outdated due to factors like additional works and contract variations. The author advocates for flexibility in construction contracts to account for unforeseen circumstances.
