I guess we'll be looking at that eyesore for years to come......
QuoteBerkman’s owner sued Choate in 2008 and a series of subcontractors the next year, saying the companies’ negligence led to the collapse and a loss of at least $36 million.
Choate had already filed a lien for money it said it was owed, then filed a second lien demanding $7.8 million. The contractor also said it had been wrongly fired from the job.
Instead of a trial, the owner’s contract with the builder called for disputes to be settled by a three-member panel from the American Arbitration Association.
Allen said the panel heard more than 20 days of testimony before deciding in Choate’s favor on every point that was raised.
“We are very pleased that the party ultimately responsible for the accident, as well as the wrongful termination of our company, was ultimately found to be liable for that,†Allen said.
