Common use of Late Representations Clause in Contracts

Late Representations. The Council will be firm on its stance to deadlines and all representations must be made by the specified closing date. Acceptance of late representations is entirely at the discretion of the Council. Where a representation/submission is late, the Council will only allow it to stand where evidence is provided to show how a genuine attempt was made to submit within a deadline. Otherwise the process is delayed and those who submitted on time will be penalised.
