Summary

Northline's current matter record ties the access notice, revised programme, change-order correspondence, and delay log into one source-backed view of the dispute.

The main live questions concern when site access changed, whether Change Order 12 was approved before the revised sequence, and which source records still need review.

Issues8

Whether the revised access date changed the critical delay sequence

Live

The record gives different dates for when the revised access window was communicated.

Whether Change Order 12 was approved before the sequencing change

Live

Project emails and the formal notice describe different approval paths for Change Order 12.

Whether owner-caused access restrictions extended the completion date

Live

The owner notice, programme revision, and delay log all point to restricted access during the same period.

Whether the inspection record supports the extension request

Needs review

The current file does not yet connect the inspection note to the later extension request.

Whether the contractor satisfied the contractual notice requirements

Resolved

The notice sequence now shows a written reservation followed by a detailed extension submission.

Whether concurrent subcontractor delay reduces the claimed extension

Live

The delay log records subcontractor slippage during part of the same period as the access restriction.

Whether the prolongation cost claim is supported by contemporaneous records

Needs review

Site diaries support labour disruption, but several cost entries still lack invoices or timesheet links.

Whether the revised programme superseded the earlier baseline sequence

Resolved

The revised programme was issued after the access change and is consistently used in later correspondence.
