It is standard practice. In the case of the Picture Palace project, I very much agree it needs to be finished. It is the right thing to do, as I said at another committee meeting, and a lot of money has gone into it. The promoters had good intentions and did their best but unexpected issues arose, including difficulties with the site. It is expected that the legal issues will be resolved shortly and work will commence in the new year.
