Australia.-\u00a0The Star Entertainment Group<\/strong>\u00a0is being sued by Multiplex Constructions Qld Pty<\/strong>, the contract builder for its Queen’s Wharf Brisbane project.

DBC is a joint venture in which The Star holds a 50 per cent stake. Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and Far East Consortium each control 25 per cent. The case revolves around alleged claims for additional costs, extensions of time and damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Star said it “understands that the claim seeks various declarations from the Court regarding extensions of time, relevant milestone dates, liquidated damages, variations and certain other matters, including potential sums payable, in connection with the contract and seeks various orders in relation to those matters.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company added: “DBC intends to defend the proceedings and The Star will keep the market informed upon filing of DBC\u2019s defence and any counter claims.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
