URA granted leave to finalise claims against Motts


The Construction and Technology Court last week granted the Urban Regeneration Agency leave to finalise claims for damages against consulting engineer Mott MacDonald over reclamation work carried out 10 years ago.

The proceedings were held in closed chambers before Judge Anthony Thornton and relate to work carried out on St Mary's Island, Chatham, in preparation for a major housebuilding project which is currently under construction by Countryside Properties.

Mott MacDonald gave professional advice to English Estates, the forerunner to the URA, which is part of Government-sponsored English Partnerships.

A date has not been set for a resumption of the hearing.
