DWS steers BAR to victory in F1 dispute

Denton Wilde Spate (DWS) secured a win for the BAR-Honda Formula 1 (F1) team last week after the F1 Contracts Recognition Board (CRB) ruled that F1 driver Jenson Button must fulfil his contract with BAR. DWS advised BAR on the CRB hearing in Milan, while Maxwell Bately’s motor sports division advised Button, who had been attempting to break his contract with BAR to enable him to drive for the Williams-BMW team during the 2005 F1 season. He will now honour his existing contract with BAR.
