With Wimbledon just around the corner a £4.6m legal dispute between the All England Lawn Tennis Club and top international design practice Building Design Partnership over alleged design flaws on the media centre is hotting up quite nicely.
In a writ filed at the High Court in March, the club accused BDP and subcontractor FB Ellmer of "defective design" and "poor workmanship" on the allegedly leaky Millennium Building. [the Millennium curse strikes again - bridge, dome, building, Robbie Williams etc etc]
BDP has now filed a response to the writ that says the club's claims are an "abuse of process" and that it had failed to address the alleged defects in a "proper and timeous fashion".
"The club should have investigated and discovered the extent of the alleged defects by the end of 2001 at the latest", it says.
So there!
