I am currently working on an NEC 3 project with X2 Changes in the law applicable (no change to the standard clause).
Due to the coronavirus the following legislation has been made:-
Coronavirus Act 2020
The Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions) (Scotland) Regulations 2020
and the following guidance:-
Site Operating Procedures
With respect to X2, the notes for guidance (NEC 3 April 2013) advises "....law would include a national or state statute, ordinance, decree, regulation (including building or safety regulations)...."
Having reviewed the made legislation (including amended), there is no mention/ reference to construction and or building sites. Also, Site Operating Procedures would appear not to fit the categories outlined in the notes of guidance.
As a consequence of implementing the Site Operating Procedures ie. safe working distances, amending welfare facilities, etc. This is will have an impact on site costs and production outputs (increased activity duration).
Please can you advise as to whether X2 is applicable to recover additional monies and time ?
