However, they made significant losses on the project, the final cost of which was £798m.

	Subsequently, Multiplex tried to raise a number of legal cases against sub-contractors and consultants in an attempt to recoup some of their losses, including the original steel contractor Cleveland Bridge. One of these was the largest construction claim in British legal history, against the structural engineering consultants Mott MacDonald for £253m. With legal fees threatening to spiral out of control, the case was eventually settled out of court in June 2010.
