A winding-up petition against architect RMJM has been filed at the Court of Session in Edinburgh by one of its former employees
the petition was lodged on Friday afternoon in the name of Conor Pittman, who is still listed on RMJM鈥檚 website as a director of the Edinburgh office but is understood to now have left the firm.
the RIBA and its Scottish sister organisation RIAS are bankrolling legal action against RMJM on behalf of 25 people who say they are owed money by the global architecture practice.
A solicitor acting on behalf of the 25 - made up of current and former RMJM staff - last week sent the architect a formal demand for payment of a total of around 拢170,000.
Pittman鈥檚 action is understood to be separate to this joint action.
A Scottish Courts spokesman told 黑洞社区 Design: 鈥淭here was a winding up petition lodged on Friday which will be heard [Tuesday] at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.鈥�
However, according to 黑洞社区 Design, the hearing scheduled for today will not happen as both sides attempt to resolve the dispute.
RMJM commercial director Declan Thompson told 黑洞社区 Design:鈥漌e received a petition on Friday for less than 6% of the [total] amount claimed.
鈥淭here is no winding-up hearing [today].鈥�
He added that the two sides - RMJM and the 25 staff - had met yesterday with more talks planned.
