The first important court date is set for March 31 in Seattle over a lawsuit by a joint venture of Skanska and the Hunt Construction Group against the Washington State Convention Center, which plans a new building. The convention center dismissed the joint venture as prime contractor for the project earlier this month.
The Skanska-Hunt joint venture filed a lawsuit March 18 in King County Superior Court to stop the convention center from hiring a replacement contractor for the $1.45-billion addition.
