Home Group has said a contractor’s claim in the High Court that it is owed £7.7m by the housing association is ‘spurious’ and ‘poorly-evidenced’

The 55,000-home association said it has “acted in good faith” on scheme at the centre of the case that completed six years behind schedule.

The housing association which ISG has taken to the High Court over a £7.7m payment dispute has described the contractor’s claims as “spurious to say the least”.
