Clause 52.3 of NEC3 states that:
"The Contractor allows the Project Manager to inspect at any time within working hours the accounts and records which he is required to keep."
Meanwhile Clause 14.2 states that:
"The Project Manager and the Supervisor, after notifying the Contractor, may delegate any of their actions and may cancel any delegation. A reference to an action of the Project Manager or the Supervisor in this contract includes an action by his delegate."
Hence, with the PM's delegation, the PM's representative may inspect Contractor's records as if the PM would have inspected the records himself.
Relative thereto, can the Contractor deny the delegated person by the PM to view records required to verify the Defined Cost if he reasons out that the information is confidential to project-level personnel?
