A spot of bovver
Series: Building ; 266(8210) 16 November 2001, 66-67(2)Publication details: 2001Subject(s): Summary: When a high court judge removed an arbitrator in the case of Wicketts and Sterndale v Brine Builders a number of relevant points arrose. In claiming £60,000 compensation for his home extension from Brine Builders, Trevor Wickett lost his patience with the arbitrator who responded by accusing him of applying 'undue pressure'. In response, the judge stated that the arbitrator had not taken objections seriously enough and further had inappropriately interfered with the 'settlement dialogue'. However the court also made a mistake in making the arbitrator liable to pay the costs for the hearing, even when dismissed the arbitrator remains immune to such a directive.Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
