Citation: CILL 2189 TCC
Nature of case: This decision has attracted considerable interest because of the “seven propositions” by which the dispute/no dispute issue is to be decided for the purposes of ICE 5th Clause 66. The “Thelwall Viaduct” case, as it is known, also concerns the scope of the engineer’s decision-making jurisdiction. Permission was granted to appeal to the Court of Appeal (see below). Note that the decision expressly relates adjudication cases to arbitration.
