Architect 黑洞社区 Design Partnership has launched an attack against fellow defendant FB Ellmer in the legal row over the Wimbledon media centre

In a writ filed at the High Court in March, the All England Lawn Tennis Club accused BDP and subcontractor Ellmer of 鈥減oor workmanship鈥 and 鈥渄efective design鈥.

But BDP has now accused the subcontractor of 鈥渄efective workmanship鈥 and alleges that it failed to select the appropriate timber or install weather seals. It adds that if it is found liable, it will claim a contribution from Ellmer.

Ellmer has denied it was in breach of contract for its workmanship, and supports the All England Club鈥檚 claim against the architect.
