Cleveland Bridge (CBUK) appointed to ￡60m steelwork contract on Wembley stadium. CBUK walks off the project in a dispute over payment, claiming that Multiplex had breached its contract. CBUK replaced on site by Hollandia. Parties draft their claims. Writ filed by CBUK accuses Multiplex of changing agreed valuations, deducting payments and failing to agree a schedule after design changes; Multiplex claims ￡38m for delays and defective works.
