Contracting company – Construct work – Delay – Refusal to Pay - Use of an expert – Bias – Evidence
The original case involved a claim for money outstanding following the construction of a property. One of the parties claimed a delay in completion had led to them withholding payment. The key issue was the use of an expert who had been paid by one of the parties who it was claimed showed bias in the case. The court stated that the party making this objective should have done so at an earlier stage in the proceedings and have provided evidence of deceit.
