Collapsed product firm hit with £135m of ‘mainly’ cladding claims, administrator says
Summary
The article reports that the administrator of a collapsed product firm says it is facing £135m of claims, mainly related to cladding. It also notes a High Court order in June requiring the German parent of Sto Ltd to pay Mulalley £1.8m for costs incurred replacing a cladding system at an Essex tower block.
Why it matters
