On June 30, 2023 an arbitral award in the case regarding the contract for Mall of Scandinavia was rendered. The arbitral tribunal concurred with Peab's claims for compensation for added expenses generated by extensive changes in the project made during the production phase and ruled that Peab was entitled to compensation of approximately one billion Swedish kronor for construction costs as well as SEK 390 billion, in default interest. URW then challenged the award to Svea Court of Appeal which on May 28, 2025 rendered a judgment entitling Peab to compensation for the work incurred by changes and additions along with compensation for disorder and disruption. The arbitral award was set aside concerning URW's claim for liquidated damages for certain delays and Peab's claims for the costs of the arbitration procedures.

Since no payment was made as required by the judgment Peab initiated bankruptcy proceedings against the project company Rodamco Projekt AB in order to demand payment. URW announced on June 3, 2025 that it intended to initiate a new arbitration procedure regarding its claim for liquidated damages for certain delays and Peab intended to initiate a new arbitration procedure regarding its claim for the costs of the arbitration procedures.

On June 22, 2025 the parties agreed to settlement entailing a payment of one billion Swedish kronor from URW to Peab on July 2, 2025. The settlement agreement further entails that each party retract all processes, that the contract is considered finally settled and that the parties have no claims against each other, including warranty obligations. The settlement agreement thereby entails that there are no remaining risks for Peab regarding the contract for Mall of Scandinavia.

Through the settlement agreement Peab will be compensated with an amount equivalent to the amount determined for costs for completing the contract in the arbitral award on June 30, 2023. The agreement entails that Peab waives an amount equivalent to accrued default interest.

"We're very pleased that we can finally put the legal aftermath concerning Mall of Scandinavia behind us. We got the compensation for the contract we are entitled to contractually and legally. In order to put an end to the relationship between the parties once and for all we chose to reach this settlement agreement and we get one billion Swedish kronor paid into our account," says Jesper Göransson, President and CEO of Peab.
