Costs – Order for costs. The proceedings concerned a claim by assignees in respect of alleged defects at a large development on the site of the former children's hospital. Issues arose as to whether it was appropriate for the court at a case management conference to grant a 'window' of three or four months whilst the parties engaged in alternative dispute resolution and whether the Technology and Construction Court had discretion to order the production of costs budgets in the case.
