Downer Construction has filed a claim against VECTOR Limited, of which the line business is the predominant activity, in respect of variances to the contract for the construction of the Penrose to Auckland CBD tunnel. The directors believe this claim to be significantly inflated. VECTOR Limited, of which the line business is the predominant activity, has lodged a counter claim. A provision has been made to cover the anticipated costs, however, details of this provision are not disclosed as the Board believe that this would prejudice seriously the position of VECTOR Limited, of which the line business is the predominant activity.
