In the period prior to the appointment of the Receiver in this case, the University in question discharged all of its financial responsibilities under its contract with the main contractor directly to the contractor as normal. Any monies now owed by the main contractor to sub contractors fall to be addressed by the Receiver. In these circumstances, the University is unable to assist the sub contractors other than to advise that they contact the Receiver directly in these matters.
