Nature of case: 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: Amec Civil Engineering v Secretary of State (Vivian Ramsey QC, Simon Hughes QC, John Marrin QC, Sarah Hannaford QC) applied.
The court also rejected criticisms of how the adjudicator dealt with apparent contradictions in evidence: these were not matters for the court. See other reports: [2006] CILL 2321 TCC
