I don't have a copy of the clauses with me, but I believe you are required to show all implemented CEs on the programme, but not banned from showing unimplemented CEs -just don't link them to your completion date.
You are certainly required to submit (and PM should reject if you don't) a programme which is realistic. So if not including unimplemented CEs makes the programme unrealistic, this is clearly the wrong thing to do.

You are correct in what the document say, but you will be silly not to so the impact of the Compensation Event.
I have been told to do this in the past.
Show the CE as if it were impacting, and rather than changing the Completion date milestone, inset a new milestone called "Potential Completion date" and link your CE to this milestone and your planned completion.
That way you can submit a fully upto date programme with the correct logic and data shown on it. From herein the PM can accept it. Remember he is not signing his life away by accepting this programme, just acknowledging that it is a reflection of reality.
Then, once the CE is implemented, you can adjust the Completion date milestone.
Hope this helps.

I believe your interpretation is correct and that is indeed the major cause of dispute. In my experience (with retrospective claims) CEs are never agreed and so cannot be planned. What OUGHT to be the case is that the current schedule is amended to include known CEs (i.e. where it is agreed they are to be implemented but no price/time agreed) and that the target (i.e. contract) schedule is not amended until EOT is agreed. Then at least all can see the work that has to be done and also what is yet to be finalised. Sadly, this scenario never seems to be taken up - so plans are used that are hopelessly out of date.
