Subcontractor liable for cladding on student blocks

摘要

A collapsed roofing subcontractor has been found liable in the High Court for cladding issues on student accommodation in Manchester. The outcome of the case, relating to Wrexham-headquartered European Sheeting Ltd(ESL)and its work on three high-rise blocks at Parkway Gate, suggests contractors will find it hard to challenge costs on remediation projects, even if they disagree with the approach taken, a legal expert said.
