Leighton Faces Class Action from Shareholders


Construction giant Leighton Holdings (ASX:LEI) faces class action from its shareholders today regarding the company's downgrades and write-downs on major projects.

Leighton said in February it expected to report a profit of almost $500 million, which was then downgraded to a loss as shares dropped about 14 percent. The company blamed the downgrade on cost blowouts, delays at Victoria's Wonthaggi desalination plant and problems with Brisbane's Airport Link.
