The document discusses various types of delays that can occur in construction projects and their classifications. It provides examples of:
1) Excusable delays such as labor disputes, fires, and unavoidable delays that are beyond the contractor's control.
2) Non-excusable delays like ordinary weather, subcontractor delays, and failures by the contractor to properly manage the site.
3) Compensable delays caused by unforeseen issues like transportation delays beyond the contractor's control.
It also discusses the differences between critical and non-critical delays as well as concurrent delays caused by multiple parties. The key takeaway is that excusable, non-critical, and concurrent delays may provide grounds for claims for

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. CAUSES FOR DELAY
• Defects in
documents/design/decision.
• Incompetence of parties to cope
up with changes.
• Differing site conditions.
• Attitude of any one or both the
parties.
3. EXCUSABLE DELAYS
• The consideration to excuse would be:
– Non-foreseeable situation.
Non-critical in impact.
Concurrent with party's delay.
• Labour disputes.
• Fire.
• Unusual delay in deliveries.
• Unavoidable delays.
4. NON-EXCUSABLE DELAYS
• Ordinary and foreseeable weather
conditions.
• A subcontractor's delays.
• The contractor's failure to adequately
manage and coordinate the project site.
• The contractor's financing problems.
• The contractor's failure to mobilize quickly
enough.
• Delay by the contractor in obtaining
5. COMPENSABLE DELAYS
• Unforeseen delays in transportation.
• Other causes beyond „the contractor's control‟.
CRITICAL AND NON-
CRITICAL DELAYS
• Time is of the essence.
CONCURRENT DELAYS
• While one party undergoes a phase of delay of its own
making, the other party too is delayed due to its own
deficiencies.
Thus a non-critical, concurrent delay is Excusable and
therefore what gives rise to claim for damages is Critical,
7. FACTS
• Contract Awarded On 6th July 1994
• For upgradation of the Auraiya Gas Compressor
Station for HBJ Pipeline.
• To be completed by 27th February 1995.
• Actually completed on 31st October 1996
• Delay of about 20 months.
• GAIL claims that HCC was not serious about the
execution of the job awarded to it
• Various notices/letters were issued to HCC by
GAIL, and also by Engineers India Ltd. (`EIL')
who were the Engineer-in-charge of the project.
8. ISSUES
• HCC had already submitted its NCC while
requesting EoT by a letter dated 7th
March 1997.
• GAIL by its letter dated 14th January 1998
requested HCC to submit a fresh NCC.
This was done by the HCC on 16th
January 1998.
• HCC also issued another letter dated 16th
April 1999, that no further amount is due
to it under the contract in question.
9. ISSUES
• 6th October 1999: HCC filed it claims to arbitrator
• GAIL's objection as to maintainability of HCC's claim was
rejected by the learned Arbitrator in the impugned
Award dated 11th August 2003.
• HCC had imposed a condition for issuance of such NCC.
– “We shall have no claim whatsoever of any kind
towards the Contract and the works executed at GAIL
Dibiyapur subject to sanction of final extension of
time without levy of Liquidated Damages and
payment of our final bill”
• GAIL‟s reply:
– “You had submitted conditional No Claim Certificate
subject to extension of contractual completion period
10. JUDGEMENT
• HCC insisted on GAIL extending the period of
completion of the contract without imposition of
LD as a pre-condition to issuing the NCC.
• GAIL acceded to the said condition and
thereafter HCC issued the NCC.
• The two parties were in negotiation as regards
the settlement of the final bill and there was no
compulsion on HCC, much less any coercion, to
issue an NCC.
• For the aforementioned reasons, the Court sets
aside the impugned Award dated 11th August
12. FACTS
• Delayed the supply and installation of the
Gen-sets beyond the time limit.
• Work was not completed on time.
• EoT is not to be granted according to the

• Section 73 and 74 was violated to which
Indian Oil claimed LD.
• Time was extended by letter dated 4-12-
1996 with a specific demand that the
clause for liquidated damages would be
13. FACTS
• Sudhir Gen-sets had supplied the goods
• Indicates that they were agreeable to pay
liquidated damages.
• Sudhir gen-sets raised issue with arbitrator
claiming there was no loss to IOC.
• Arbitrator dismissed the claims.
• No justifiable reason for the Arbitral Tribunal to
arrive at a conclusion that still the purchaser
should prove loss suffered by it because of delay
in supply of goods.
• It was LD and not Penalty.
14. ISSUES
• There is specific stipulation in the agreement
that the time and date of delivery of the goods
was of the essence of the contract;
• In case of failure to deliver the goods within the
period fixed for such delivery in the schedule,
ONGC was entitled to recover from the
contractor liquidated damages as agreed;
• It was also explicitly understood that the agreed
liquidated damages were genuine pre-estimate
of damages;
• On the request of the respondent to extend the
15. ISSUES
• Specifically that time was extended but
stipulated liquidated damages as agreed would
be recovered;
• Liquidated damages for delay in supply of goods
were to be recovered by paying authorities from
the bills for payment of cost of material supplied
by the contractor;
• There is nothing on record to suggest that
stipulation for recovering liquidated damages
was by way of penalty or that the said sum was
in any way unreasonable.
16. JUDGEMENT
• Damages were pre-fixed by the
parties with regard to loss suffered by
IOC on account of delay in supplying
the equipment.
• It is not necessary for the respondent
to prove actual damages.
• Thus, the arbitrator was justified in
dismissing the claim of Sudhir Gen-
sets by virtue of Clause 13 of the

• The defendant did not allot additional
land for the remaining 160 members
20. •The defendant directed the plaintiff
to deposit Rs 39,88,824.38/- for
granting extension of time for
construction of flats.
• The aforesaid amount was
deposited by the plaintiff under
protest
•Despite legal notices for possession
of additional land and refund of Rs

aforesaid amount of Rs
39,88,824.38/- along with interest
@18% p.a. amounting to Rs
21,53,964.62/-, thus making a total
claim of Rs 61,42,790/-
• Defendant objected that the suit is
not maintainable for want of notice
under Section 53-B Delhi
Development Act.
22. •Due to the arbitration clause contained in Perpetual Lease
Deed, the suit is not maintainable and the matter is
required to be referred for arbitration.
•The plaintiff-society represented that it had 460 members
and requested for allotment of land measuring 7.666 acres
and also deposited Rs 8,53,800/- on 03rd March, 1982 but
only 5 acres of land was available in Patparganj.
•It was decided to allot land measuring 7.666 acres,
subject to payment of Rs 11,87,119.80/- towards cost of
additional land, but, the society failed to deposit the cost
of additional land.
• Since the society had paid Rs 25,28,300/- towards
premium 5 acres was allotted to it.

proper legal notice under Section 53-B of the
Delhi Development Act?
•Whether notice under Section 53-B of the
Delhi Development Act had been served on
the defendant?
•Whether the present suit is barred by time?
•Whether there is an arbitration agreement
between the parties, if so what would be its
effect?
•Whether plaintiff is entitled to claim the
24. JUDGEMENT
•It would make no difference to the merits of the
case as that there was no linkage between
construction on the land measuring 5 acres allotted
to the plaintiff-society at Patparganj and allotment of
additional land to it.
•This is not a suit for damages on account of delay
in allotment of additional land to the plaintiff-society
nor is this a suit for payment of interest on the
amount paid as premium for additional rent on the
ground that there was no delay on the part of the
DDA in allotting additional land to the plaintiff-
society, despite receipt of entire land premium from
it alongwith requisite interest.
25. • Since construction was not dependent
on allotment of additional land and
there was no hindrance such as
encroachment on the land at
Patparganj, non-completion of
construction within the time
stipulated was not justified.
• The lessor, therefore, was very much
entitled to recover composition fee
while acceding to the request of the

requisite experience by one year.
• Raunaq International Ltd.‟s offer was the
most competitive and hence tender
awarded to it.
• IVR Const. challenged this decision in High

29. JUDGEMENT OF SUPREME
•
COURT under the
Relaxation was permissible
terms of the tender. The relaxation
granted to M/s. Raunaq International Ltd.
is on valid principles looking to the
expertise of the tenderer and his past
experience although it does not exactly
tally with the prescribed criteria.
