Claimant may suspend work
27 Claimant may suspend work
(1) A claimant may suspend the carrying out of construction work (or the
supply of related goods and services) under a construction contract if at
least 2 business days have passed since the claimant has caused notice of
intention to do so to be given to the respondent under section 15, 16 or 24.
(2) The right conferred by subsection (1) exists until the end of the period
of 3 business days immediately following the date on which the claimant
receives payment for the amount that is payable by the respondent under
section 15(1), 16(1) or 23(2).
(2A) If the claimant, in exercising the right
to suspend the carrying out of construction work or the supply of
related goods and services, incurs any loss or expenses as a result of the
removal by the respondent from the contract of any part of the work or supply,
the respondent is liable to pay the claimant the amount of any such loss or
expenses.
(3) A claimant who suspends construction work (or the supply of
related goods and services) in accordance with the right conferred by
subsection (1) is not liable for any loss or damage suffered by the
respondent, or by any person claiming through the respondent, as a consequence
of the claimant not carrying out that work (or not supplying those goods and
services) during the period of suspension.
