Citation: CILL 2321 TCC
Nature of case: This is an application of AMEC Civil Engineering v Secretary of State (Vivian Ramsey QC, Simon Hughes, John Marrin QC, Sarah Hannaford). In an adjudication dispute arising from non-payment under a refurbishment contract, the court held that, while a contract might prescribe when payment fell due, thus providing guidance on whether a claim was denied, it could not be determinative of the point at which a dispute arose. The court also rejected criticisms of how the adjudicator dealt with apparent contradictions in evidence: these were not matters for the court.
