By: Series: Building ; 266(8169) 16 February 2001, 70-72(2)Publication details: 2001Subject(s): Summary: A recent case unconnected with the construction industry "Antonelli v Allen" (2000) resulted in the successful plaintive paying 75% of the losers costs because several of its points had no legal merit. Although this seems a reasonable decision, the article considers some of the problems that could arise from this judgement in terms of construction arbitration.
