The latest reports on this case are that Multiplex have already spent over £20 million on legal fee's and this figure is expected to more than double and possibly treble (depending on the timescale of the trial) before the case is finished.
The initial time frame for the trial was two months but could drag out for up to eight.
Motts are reported to have forked out over £6 million and they expect this to more than treble, again depending on the timescale of the trial.
It was stated by many observers that this case would never reach the court room. As the applicable rule of court in common law cases under normal circumstances is 'costs following the event' and the current legal expendidture and expected further spiralling costs it appears that this case may reach the courtroom after all?
