Contract change notice relying on the wrong ground
The notice cites section 74(1)(c) (below-threshold) for a +14.4% value change and a +33% term extension. The percentage is not printed. A rule engine should raise PA23-s74-exceeds-below-threshold and PA23-s74-substantial-term.
Hazards
- wrong_legal_ground - The authority cites a modification ground that does not cover the change made.
- percent_not_printed - The modification percentage is not printed and must be computed from the values.
- date_uk_format - Dates printed as DD/MM/YYYY.
