Part 9: Remedies for breach of statutory duty Section 101: Automatic suspension of the entry into or modification of contracts
Subsection (1) states that if a contracting authority has been notified that a claim has commenced during any applicable standstill period, the contracting authority is not permitted to enter into that contract/modification. This is known as the automatic suspension.
	Subsection (2) indicates that section 102 (interim remedies) allows the court (via court order) to lift or modify the automatic suspension.
	Subsection (3) provides that the automatic suspension does not apply if first instance proceedings have concluded and there is no order to extend the restriction (e.g. to take account of an appeal).
	Subsection (4) makes it clear "convertible contract" in this section has a meaning given in section 74 (modifying a public contract).
	Subsection (5) cross refers to the standstill provisions in sections 51 and 76.
