520 _aA subcontractor who was awarded £3m in court for the expense of a hugely inflated project, lost the award when the main contractor appealed (McAlpine Humberoak v McDermott International CA 5 March 1992). The appellant`s successful argument was that the value of the work, commenced a long time before the contract was sealed, should be judged as `variations`. As this was not the basis of the subcontractor`s claim, the payment based upon it was disallowed.
