The Children's Health Partnership is obligated to inform the State if it is of the opinion that a force majeure event has occurred or is likely to occur (Clayton Utz 2007b: p.239). In such circumstances, the consortium has a maximum of five working days to provide relevant details to the public partner that includes: the basis on which the opinion was formed, the affected services and how long they will be impacted, measures that the concessionaire has undertaken to avoid or minimise disruption (and their associated costs) and insurance policy details (Clayton Utz 2007b: p.239) e.g. relating to start-up delay and business interruption. After issuing a force majeure notice, the consortium is obliged to provide relevant ongoing information to the public partner (Clayton Utz 2007b: p.240). The possession of this type of information could be critical to State decision-makers as it may form a basis to temporarily assume full or partial control of service provision (Clayton Utz 2007b: p.257) where there is no better alternative.
