	Society \| A matter of commitment
		Mowlem raised the political temperature this week with a 30% increase in profits to £11.8m and a record £1.8bn orderbook on the back of public sector deals.
		Mowlem argues that margins of 2% to 2.5% in construction undermine arguments that the private sector is ripping off the taxpayer and are tiny compared with what drugs companies are making out of the NHS.
		The Mowlem chief executive was educated at the local grammar school where he became head boy and a stalwart of the rugby team.

	SHIPROW DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED v. DUNCAN DONALD McGRUTHER, Liquidator of CRAIGLAIR PROPERTY COMPANY LIMITED+JOHN ...
		July 2002 the principal creditors of Craiglair were recorded as being the appellants to the extent of £490,688, the second respondents ("Mowlem") to the extent of £119,369, the third respondents ("Odeon") to the extent of £546,131 and the Inland Revenue to the extent of £27,305.
		As a result Mowlem and Odeon represented a majority in value of the creditors at the meeting and so were able to secure the appointment of the first respondent as liquidator of Craiglair in the face of opposition from the appellants.
		Mowlem's debt should have been compensated by the value of the counterclaim and reduced to nil value for the purposes of voting upon the appointment and for the other purposes of the liquidation".
