AMEC Capital Projects Ltd v Whitefriars City Estates
Ltd
[2004]
96 Con LR 142, [2005] BLR 1 CA, [2004] 20 Const LJ 338 and [2004] EWHC 393 (TCC)
Nature of case
This is the Court of Appeal hearing of the TCC decision on the
effect of incorrect identification of a named adjudicator and his
subsequent death. AMEC succeeded in its appeal against the
judge’s finding of breach of natural justice. The mere fact
that a tribunal has previously considered the issue raises no
inference of bias and neither the legal advice received by the
adjudicator on jurisdiction nor a conversation between
adjudicator and AMEC’s solicitors was improper (although the
latter will always need careful handling).
