A Canberra Institute of Technology consultant pushed for more and more money to be paid sooner rather than later, resulting in 33 per cent of a $5 million contract being paid before work even started, a barrister has told a court.
Patrick Hollingworth, who is suing CIT, was present in ACT Supreme Court on Tuesday as a hearing into his company's case against the institute wrapped up. He is seeking damages totalling $3.4 million after the multimillion-dollar contract was terminated.
