  Liquidated Damages And Injunctions: Turning A Minus Into A Plus - Construction and Projects - Updates and Publications ...
The Council then gave Mowlem written notice that they were to comply with the requirements of the AI within seven days and that in the event that Mowlem did not do so the Council would instruct others to carry out the work and the costs of so doing would be charged to Mowlem’s account.
It was argued on behalf of Mowlem that, if they continued to deny access to Warings, then the only loss suffered which the Council would suffer would be delay-related loss; and that the liquidated and ascertained damages stated in the JCT Contract represented a contractually agreed measure of adequate compensation.
So, Mowlem argued, it was not permissible for the Council to say that an award of liquidated and ascertained damages would not adequately compensate the Council for any delay in the period up to trial and therefore the temporary injunction should not be granted.

 Design and build contracts
Mowlem argued that the risks they had accepted by reference to Clause 10 and elsewhere in the contract, were to be contained within risks arising in connection with the Works.
The term 'Works' was clearly defined in the contract and Mowlem contended that the repair work to the existing concrete perimeter beams could not be considered to be part of the 'Works' to be undertaken by Mowlem under the contract.
Mowlem argued that Article 10 entailed acceptance by it of additional risks and responsibility to that accepted under the other provisions of the contract, but not the risk of rectifying at its own expense any unforeseen defects in the existing building adapted by Mowlem.
