Contracts overruled.
Series: Faculty of Building Journal ; 8(4) August 1999, 17-19(3)Publication details: 1999Subject(s): Summary: Discusses Redland Aggregates v Shepherd Hill which concerned the joining of main and subcontract arbitration under clause 18(2) of the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors subcontract form, known as the Blue Form. The clause does not stipulate that the employer is to agree to the principle of tripartite arbitration nor does the arbitrator have power to force him to do so, and it does not impose a timetable on the main contractor to invoke the arbitration. However the court held that the natural meaning of the clause provides for tripartite arbitration, and that a reasonable time would be short.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
