ASSIGNMENT

Professional Diploma in Forensic Quantum Analysis

FQ510 Quantum Determination

Scenario

The Competition Tribunal has found the contractor, Dodgee Builders Ltd, guilty of collusion with Tricky Contractors and Slimey Contracts on the price fixing of their bids for the new stadium in the Rugby World Cup 2007 and a claim has been brought against all three entities by the French government to have the damages paid.

You are commissioned as an expert for the French government to quantify the damages to an evidential burden that is capable of satisfying the balance of probabilities.

Please provide, with due consideration of foreseeability, reasonableness and proximate cause a strategy for your quantification.

The strategy will consider the staged approach you will take, the heads of damages and the information you require in order to quantify the damages.

The collusion resulted in the three contractors securing a head office overhead and profit return on their costs of 25%.

Having regard to the following facts please provide your brief for the French government to determine the likelihood of success of your commission as expert.

  1. There are 3 new stadiums
  2. Stadium 1 is close to Dodgee’s office
  3. Stadium 2 is close to Tricky’s office
  4. Stadium 4 is close to Slimey’s office
  5. The collusion resulted in the contractor’s securing the stadiums closest to their offices
    1. You are to determine the damages recoverable due to collusion for stadium 1 from all three contractors;
      1. Stadium 1 cost € 950,000,000.00 for the contract works, € 150,000,000.00 in variations and € 250,000,000.00 in provisional sums
      2. The design team estimated € 835,000,000.00 and allowed € 125,000,000.00 for provisional sums, they do not comment on HO&P as they had no choice.
      3. The contract included a provision for the professional team to be paid 10% on the costs of the construction
      4. Dodgee added 25% to all costs incurred including provisional sums
  6. Dodgee accept the findings but allege that 25% was a reasonable return for the risk of completion in time for the world cup opening match.
