In the autumn last year we successfully made back-to-back representations against a series of Contract Manager costs findings. On one he backed down providing a story we thought a bit far-fetched but our client got the result they wanted and so we let it ride. We got the same result on the second although he got a bit shirty because we mentioned the former and pushed hard for a consistent decision.
Anyway there was a clear line in the sand – these claims were properly made.
In the intervening period the issue has arisen again including with different CMs from the same regional office. Then last week we received papers with the self same CM making the self same determination he had withdrawn last year. Fortunately he has, again, changed his mind before the matter has gone to a formal appeal.
At least there is someone with a worse memory than me.
