Hong Kong to seek compensation for faulty hospital lifts causing year-long delay

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Hong Kong authorities are reserving the right to seek compensation from contractors responsible for faulty lift installations at Queen Mary Hospital. The defects have caused a delay of up to a year for the new hospital block's operations, preventing medical departments from moving in. Secretary for Development Bernadette Linn stated that the main contractor, Paul Y-Able, and lift subcontractor Anlev Elex Elevator will be held responsible for all remedial costs, preventing any increase in public expenditure for the HK$13.5 billion project.
