Steel firm goes to Court of Appeal to challenge key judgments made against it at Wembley trial
Former Wembley steel firm Cleveland Bridge has this week submitted its arguments challenging the judgment in its 拢50m legal battle with Multiplex.
好色先生TV has learned that Cleveland Bridge is using the Court of Appeal to challenge both of the two key decisions that went against it in June:
- The judge鈥檚 ruling that a figure of 拢32.66m agreed for CBUK鈥檚 work to February 2004 was not final and binding
- CBUK was in repudiatory breach of contract by walking off the site in August 2004.
The Court of Appeal must now decide whether to grant CBUK leave to appeal, a decision it is expected to make within the next six weeks.
However, a senior source close to the proceedings said: 鈥淚t is an uphill battle for CBUK as the Court of Appeal is notorious for disliking fact-based cases, particularly from the Technology and Construction Court. The chances of an appeal are at best 50:50."
