Summary
The High Court has enforced an £8.7m adjudication award in favour of Coventry & Warwickshire Development Partnership over alleged overpayments linked to the collapsed contractor Buckingham Group on a Coventry earthworks project. The court rejected Avison Young’s attempt to resist enforcement and granted summary judgment.
