The Supreme Court in London has ruled against an appeal that stated MT Hojgaard should be liable for the costs of repairing foundations at Eon’s 180MW Robin Rigg Offshore wind farm in Scotland.
In April, the Court of Appeal in London found the company were not responsible for problems with grouted connections at the project and did not need to pay damages to developer Eon, who disagreed and filed an appeal to the Supreme Court in London.
But yesterday, judges also ruled in favour of MT Hojgaard – dismissing the case, and registering the matter as finally settled.
The contractor from 2007-2008 manufactured and installed 60 monopile foundations at Robin Rigg in the Solway Firth between Scotland and England.
Eon claimed MT Hojgaard was responsible for a problem with the grouted connections and said they should pay damages, in particular the cost of rectifying the problem.
MT Hojgaard denied liability arguing that the company had observed the applicable international standards as required by the client.
They were found liable in the High Court in April 2014 but were later cleared in the Court of Appeal a year later.
Now cleared in the final stages in the Supreme Court yesterday, MT Hojgaard will recognise DKK 195 million as income under special items.
