SCHEDULE 8 KEY DATES
The purpose of this Schedule 8 (Key Dates) is to define those key dates relating to the Project that are either important in terms of the overall delivery programme or that have a contractual consequence if there is a delay. For the avoidance of doubt, this Schedule 8 (Key Dates) is intended to assist the Parties by bringing together such Key Dates into one Schedule but its purpose is to provide a summary explanation only so in the event of conflict between this Schedule and any other provision in the Contract (main body or any other Schedule) the main body or other Schedules shall take precedence.
