I believe it is possible to stop the project. If the contract was drafted properly, we have default determination, which does not apply, but we have termination of will, which is the Minister's call. In terms of public works contracts, condition 12.6.3(3) states: "... all other amounts due to the Contractor under the Contract but not damages". They are excluded from loss of profit. The Ministers can manage this. They should stop this contract now. I believe that we will save a lot of money if we redo the process and do it differently.
