Consequences of Concurrent Delay On Construction Projects

The document discusses concurrent delay in construction projects with more than one cause. It provides background on the definition of concurrent delay used in English law and references several past court cases around determining responsibility for delays. The leading cases on concurrent delay date back to the late 1990s and early 2000s and looked at situations where delays were caused partly by contractors and partly by other events outside their control.
