SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 27 – Whitestone
Construction had a contract
with the New York City
University Construction Fund
for the curtain wall at 285
Jay Street in Brooklyn.
They
subcontracted to Chicago-based
Yuanda USA Corporation for
nearly $6 million but were
unhappy with what arrived,
including the WT-3 Clerestory
System. They sued.
On July 6 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
proceeding was delayed when
Yuanda's lawyer first did not
appear, then came on late. He
said he had been in a
telephone conference with a
District Judge in the District
of Rhode Island and it went
long.
Judge Woods
gave his standard admonitions
about deadlines being real.
The parties
estimate a five day trial -
but when? Experts on the
remediation of clerestory and
facade work are expected.
The case is
Whitestone Construction Corp.
v. Yuanda USA Corporation,
20-cv-1006 (Woods)
