Willmott Dixon has promised to go after those firms it says are avoiding responsibility for footing the bill on cladding repair work on a mixed-use scheme which it says will cost it close to £44m.

In a sign of the wider implications for the industry over the issue of who pays for these kind of repairs following the Grenfell Tower fire five years ago, the firm promised that it would use the courts to recover what it reckons it is owed.
