Appeal limited to parts specified in Notice of Appeal; contractor retains common law right of set-off unless contract clearly excludes it, but the Defendant's asserted set-off for prolongation/site overheads was a shadowy, unparticularised defence and insufficient to defeat summary judgment; therefore the Master's summary judgment for $949,570 was upheld and the appeal dismissed.
