Overview

Following a high-profile English High Court trial, extending over 10 months, the Technology and Construction Court has delivered its verdict in the legal action brought by BSkyB (Sky) against Electronic Data Systems (EDS) arising out of a project to design, build, manage, implement and integrate a customer relationship management (CRM) system for the Sky business. In a judgment that holds up a spotlight on conduct in the lead-up to contracts, EDS Limited has been found liable to Sky for, among other things, fraudulent misrepresentation.

The judgment of Mr Justice Ramsey is 468 pages long. It contains a forensic narrative of the project from inception to collapse, and contains a wealth of stories, insights and anecdotes into how an IT project should - and should not - be conducted.
