The NEC3 does not give a definition of 'day'; however in one contract there is a separate definition given for 'Working Day' which specifically excludes weekends and Bank Holidays. In a delay situation with Delay Damages applicable since there is no definition of 'day' but there is of 'Working Day', it would make sense to me to assume that Delay Damages cannot relate to weekends since the Contractor has been prevented from working weekends, which had he not the Delay Damages may not have been applicable. Your view please.
