Undue Delay Sample Clauses

Undue Delay. This motion to amend comes two years after the filing of the original complaint, and seven months after pro xxxx counsel appeared. The Second Circuit has repeatedly recognized that “[m]ere delay, . . . absent a showing of bad faith or undue prejudice, does not provide a basis for a district court to deny the right to amend.” Fluor Corp., 654 F.2d at 856; Xxxxxx x. Xxxxx, 93 F. Supp. 2d 487, 497 (S.D.N.Y. 2000). If, however, a motion to amend comes after a lengthy delay, “it is incumbent upon the movant to offer a valid explanation for the delay.” Deere v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., 175 F.R.D. 157, 166 (N.D.N.Y. 1997). The plaintiff attempts to excuse this delay, arguing that he had assumed, until the defendants asserted otherwise, that the case would hinge on whether the Xxxxxx contract was modified to allow Xx. Xxxxxx to keep Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx’x retainer, and that there was therefore no need to plead quasi-contractual claims. However, this explanation is not satisfying, since if there was no modification of the Xxxxxx contract, then there is no contract

Related to Undue Delay

  • Force Majeure Delays In any case where either party hereto is required to do any act (other than the payment of money), delays caused by or resulting from Acts of God or Nature, war, civil commotion, fire, flood or other casualty, labor difficulties, shortages of labor or materials or equipment, government regulations, delay by government or regulatory agencies with respect to approval or permit process, unusually severe weather, or other causes beyond such party’s reasonable control the time during which act shall be completed, shall be deemed to be extended by the period of such delay, whether such time be designated by a fixed date, a fixed time or “a reasonable time.”

  • Excusable Delay The Contractor is entitled to an equitable adjustment of time, issued via Change Order, for delays caused by the following:

  • Payment Delay Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, no payments will be made to CONTRACTOR until COUNTY is satisfied that work of such value has been rendered pursuant to this Agreement. However, COUNTY will not unreasonably withhold payment and, if a dispute exists, the withheld payment shall be proportional only to the item in dispute.

  • Six-Month Delay Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits, including without limitation any severance payments or benefits payable under this Section 4, shall be paid to the Executive during the six-month period following the Executive’s Separation from Service if the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of the Executive’s death), the Company shall pay the Executive a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to the Executive during such period.

  • Excusable Delays Except with respect to defaults of subproviders, the Engineer shall not be in default by reason of any failure in performance of this contract in accordance with its terms (including any failure to progress in the performance of the work) if such failure arises out of causes beyond the control and without the default or negligence of the Engineer. Such causes may include, but are not restricted to, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather.

  • Force Majeure, Notice of Delay, and No Damages for Delay The Contractor will not be responsible for delay resulting from its failure to perform if neither the fault nor the negligence of the Contractor or its employees or agents contributed to the delay and the delay is due directly to acts of God, wars, acts of public enemies, strikes, fires, floods, or other similar cause wholly beyond the Contractor’s control, or for any of the foregoing that affect subcontractors or suppliers if no alternate source of supply is available to the Contractor. In case of any delay the Contractor believes is excusable, the Contractor will notify the Department or Customer in writing of the delay or potential delay and describe the cause of the delay either (1) within 10 days after the cause that creates or will create the delay first arose, if the Contractor could reasonably foresee that a delay could occur as a result, or (2) if delay is not reasonably foreseeable, within five days after the date the Contractor first had reason to believe that a delay could result. The foregoing will constitute the Contractor’s sole remedy or excuse with respect to delay. Providing notice in strict accordance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to such remedy. No claim for damages will be asserted by the Contractor. The Contractor will not be entitled to an increase in the Contract price or payment of any kind from the Department or Customer for direct, indirect, consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not limited to costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising because of delay, disruption, interference, or hindrance from any cause whatsoever. If performance is suspended or delayed, in whole or in part, due to any of the causes described in this paragraph, after the causes have ceased to exist the Contractor will perform at no increased cost, unless the Department or Customer determines, in its sole discretion, that the delay will significantly impair the value of the Contract to the State of Florida or to Customers, in which case the Department or Customer may (1) accept allocated performance or deliveries from the Contractor, provided that the Contractor grants preferential treatment to Customers with respect to commodities or contractual services subjected to allocation, or (2) purchase from other sources (without recourse to and by the Contractor for the related costs and expenses) to replace all or part of the commodity or contractual services that are the subject of the delay, which purchases may be deducted from the Contract quantity, or (3) terminate the Contract in whole or in part.

  • Tenant Delay If substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements, Warm Shell Improvements or Base Building is delayed due to any of the following (collectively, "Tenant Delays"), then the Delivery Date and/or Commencement Date, as applicable, shall be adjusted to reflect what the substantial completion date would have been if there had been no delay: (i) Tenant's failure to timely submit any items required by this Work Letter, including, without limitation, Tenant's Plans; (ii) Tenant Modifications; (iii) Tenant's failure to comply with Landlord's contractor's schedule; (iv) Tenant's or Tenant's Contractor's failure to comply with Paragraph 8, (v) Tenant's requested changes to the Tenant's Plans after they are approved by Landlord; (vi) Tenant's request for materials, finishes or installations which require longer than thirty (30) days to complete; (vii) delays caused by Tenant in construction of the Warm Shell Improvements or the Tenant Improvements; or (viii) any other event expressly constituting "Tenant Delay" pursuant to any provision of this Work Letter. Landlord shall give Tenant at least five (5) days prior notice if Landlord becomes aware that Tenant is in danger of causing a Tenant Delay, and if Tenant takes appropriate measures to prevent such delay within such five (5) day period, no adjustment to the Delivery Date or Commencement Date shall be made on account of such Tenant Delay; provided, however, that if such delay was not reasonably foreseeable by Landlord, the five (5) day period for prior notice and opportunity to mitigate provided above shall be changed to forty-eight (48) hours after Landlord becomes aware of such delay or potential delay; and provided further, that no such notice shall be required if Tenant Delay results from Tenant's failure to perform any obligation within a specific date or time period (including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of Tenant's space plan or Working Drawings or non-compliance with Landlord's contractor's schedule), or from schedule changes resulting from Tenant Modifications of which Tenant is advised by Landlord's architect or contractor as provided in Paragraph 4, or from causes that, due to the parties' relative positions with respect to the construction process, are more likely to be foreseeable by Tenant than by Landlord.

  • Waiver or Delay No failure to exercise or delay by a party in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this License Agreement operates as a waiver of such right, power, or remedy. A single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy does not preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right, power, or remedy. A waiver is not valid or binding on the party granting the waiver unless made in writing.

  • No Delay Work requiring correction shall be corrected immediately and shall be carried out in such a way not to delay the completion of the Project. If it is not feasible to correct said work immediately, the corrective work shall be done on a schedule acceptable to the Owner.

  • Unavoidable Delay When construction is impeded as a result of strikes, lockouts, acts of God or other factors beyond the control, and ability to remedy, of the Developer.
