- HCCT26/2014
The IO's instruction to suspend works indefinitely without indicating entitlement to extensions or compensation, combined with the IO's insistence on omitting material items and reducing the contract sum, amounted to a repudiatory breach of the lump sum contract; the contractor validly accepted that repudiation by the 19 July 2013 solicitors' letter and, at latest, by the 13 September 2013 notice of arbitration, terminating the contract and absolving the contractor from obligations to resume; the IO's counterclaim failed.
