It does not decide the point one way or the other as to where there is concurrent delay it can be said that the employer has delayed the contractor at all. The decision, therefore, is of value for those drafting bespoke amendments to standard form contracts who intend to push the risk of concurrent delay away from employers and on to contractors (or, indeed, from main contractors on to subcontractors). Such a clause will not be neutered by a doctrine that has come to be known as the prevention principle. Giving the only substantial judgment in the Court of Appeal (with which the Senior President of Tribunals, Sir Ernest Ryder P, and the Master of the Rolls, Sir Terence Etherton, agreed), Coulson LJ did confirm that parties can validly contract that concurrent delay will not be taken into account when calculating an extension of time. Even Coulson LJ acknowledged, however, that the Court of Appeal decision in North Midland Building Ltd v Cyden Homes LtdĀ is far from being the final word in this controversial area. An appellate decision on extensions of time, the prevention principle and concurrent delay has been long awaited by practitioners.
