any of the causes of the delay is the occurrence of a Relevant Event, or
is an act, omission or default of the Management Contractor (includ-

the completion of the Works is likely to be or has been delayed
thereby beyond the period or periods stated in Works Contract/1,
Section 2, item 1, or any revision of such period or periods,
then the Management Contractor shall, in writing, having first notified
the Architect, give an extension of time to the Works Contractor by fixing
such revised or further revised period or periods for the completion of
the Works as the Management Contractor then estimates to be reason-
able. If the Management Contractor on receipt of the notice, particulars or
estimate under clause 2.2 properly considers that any extension of time
should not be given to the Works Contractor then the Management
Contractor shall, in writing, having first notified the Architect, so inform
the Works Contractor. If under clause 2.14 of the Management Contract
Conditions the Architect has expressed dissent from the decision of the
Management Contractor on giving or not giving an extension of time or
the length thereof the Management Contractor shall notify in writing the
terms of such dissent to the Works Contractor.

If the Works Contractor suspends the performance of his obligations
under the Works Contract to the Management Contractor under clause
4.28 and delay to the progress or completion of the Works results from
such suspension, such delay shall for the purposes of clause 2.3.1.1 be
deemed to be a delay caused by an act, omission or default of the
Management Contractor.
2.4 When fixing such revised period or periods, the Management Contractor
shall, if reasonably practicable having regard to the sufficiency of the notice,
particulars and estimate, fix such revised period or periods within the
following time limit:
2.4
.1 not later than 12 weeks from the receipt by the Management Contractor
of the notice and of reasonably sufficient particulars and estimates; or
2.4
.2 where the time between receipt thereof and the expiry of the period or
periods for the completion of the Works is less than 12 weeks, not later
than the expiry of the aforesaid period or periods.
2.5 The Management Contractor, when fixing such revised period or periods,
shall state:
2.5
.1 which of the matters, including any of the Relevant Events, referred to in
clause 2.3.1.1 he has taken into account; and
2.5
.2
the extent, if any, to which the Management Contractor has had regard to
any Instruction requiring the omission of any work or obligation or
