If it is acknowledged that the Covid-19 pandemic is a Clause 19.1 prevention event there is an obligation on the Project Manager to give an instruction to the Contractor stating how he is to deal with the event and this would subsequently result in a compensation event being notified under Clause 60.1(19).
If the same prevention event is due to a change in law this obligation remains unaltered but the Contractor then has the right to notify a compensation event under secondary option Clause X2 and would time-barred if they did not notify within eight weeks that the change in law has or will cause them a problem.
Does this mean the both of these notifications need to happen for this event to be a compensation event?
