I’m aware that EWN’s do not constitute a notification under the NEC3 Contract and can therefore be time barred on an event if a CEN is not issued in the correct time frames (eight weeks). My question would be, if you raised an EWN within the eight week time frame, then raised a CEN outside of the eight week time frame, but within the CEN you referenced the aforementioned EWN, do this constitute a notification or does the time barring still take precedent.
Or is it simply, if the CEN is not notified within the eight weeks then you are time barred and there is no other work around?
