o Neither party may propose a Change:
■ which requires the Services to be performed or the Works carried out in a way that infringes any Legislation or Guidance or is inconsistent with Good Industry Practice;
■ which would cause any Necessary Consent to be revoked (or a new Necessary Consent required to implement the relevant Change to be unobtainable);
■ which would materially and adversely affect the Contractor's ability to deliver the Services (except for that part of the Service which has been specified as requiring to be amended in the Change Notice) in a manner not compensated pursuant to this Change Protocol;
■ which would materially and adversely affect the health and safety of any person;
■ which would require the Contractor to implement the Change in an unreasonable period of time;
■ which would (if implemented) materially and adversely change the nature of the Project (including its risk profile); and/or
■ whereby the Authority does not have the legal power or capacity to require the implementation of such Change.
o The Contractor may, within [ten (10)] Business Days of receipt of an Authority Change Notice, state in writing whether it objects to the Authority Change Notice on any of the grounds set out in paragraph o. If the Change is required as a result of a Change in Law, the Contractor shall in its notice of objection, set out proposals for a Change which shall satisfy the Change in Law without, to the extent practicable, breaching any of the grounds set out in paragraph o. The Authority shall, within [ten (10)] Business Days of receipt of such notice provide written confirmation that either:
■ the Authority Change Notice is withdrawn (and where the Change required was as a result of a Change in Law, the Authority shall submit a new Authority Change Notice);
or
■ the objection by the Contractor shall be referred for determination in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Procedure.
o For the avoidance of doubt the Authority has an absolute discretion to accept or reject any Contractor Change unless such Change is required as a result of a Change in Law.
