Newfield Construction Ltd v Tomlinson

27 November 2015

Citation: 97 Con LR 148 TCC and [2004] EWHC 3051 (TCC)

Nature of case: In a dispute over the meaning of “gross developer’s margin” it was held that leave to appeal on a point of law should be granted, since the arbitrator’s post-award correspondence revealed a fundamental misunderstanding of the respondent’s case.  The arbitrator had failed to decide the point stated in the pleadings, which would have constituted serious irregularity had the appeal not been allowed.
