The arbitral tribunal ordered Kiinteistö Oy Yrjönkatu 13 to compensate Consti Korjausrakentaminen Oy approximately EUR 0.7 million added with penalty interest for the project work and Consti Korjausrakentaminen Oy to compensate Kiinteistö Oy Yrjönkatu 13 EUR 0.9 million added with penalty interest for delay and other compensations. Furthermore, the arbitral tribunal ordered both parties to bear their own legal costs relating to proceedings.
