(2) The Constructing Authority may accept the claim for compensation (in whole or in part) or reject the claim.

(3) A claim for compensation is taken to have been rejected if the Constructing Authority has not dealt with the claim within 60 days after receiving the claim or within 60 days after completion of the public work concerned (whichever is the later).
