Carillion Construction Ltd v Devonport Royal Dockyard Ltd
Citation: BLR 79 TCC
Nature of case:
Applying RJT Consulting v DM Engineering, the alleged agreement that the contract would become cost reimbursable was part of an oral agreement not evidenced in writing for the purposes of the HGCR Act.
The main contractor was in any event asking for clarification and so no dispute had arisen at the date of the Notice of Adjudication. Accordingly, the adjudicator had no jurisdiction.
