Complex multi party claim arising from complete design failing of bespoke furniture

Multi-party dispute arising from total design failure of in excess of £1m worth of contemporary bespoke furniture built to a highly unusual (and, as it transpires, unrealisable) design concept.

The claim is a multi party for the reimbursement of the costs incurred in pursuing and realising furniture in accordance with the fundamentally flawed design concept. The primary case is against a leading internationally renowned architectural practice and the secondary case against the joinery firm who carried out the detailed design, manufacture and installation, which is now in administration.

There are complex insurance coverage issues with the joinery firm’s insurers as well as complex matters of expert evidence which have had to be dealt with prior to the parties being in a position to mediate or, if mediation fails, proceed to court proceedings.
