The relevant period for operations and waiting on weather is from 20 June 2022 to 9 August 2022 inclusive. For the avoidance of doubt, this should include the demobilisation day (as appears to be accepted in the Counterfactual calculations, but is the correct approach in any event). This is 51 days. The amount due is £216,750 (ex VAT).

For the avoidance of doubt, this excludes £34,000 claimed under invoice 02194 for ‘UTV-670 transit’, between 19 August 2022 and 26 August 2022. There is no explanation of the contractual or factual entitlement to this sum by way of pleading, evidence or submission.
