💡 #𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲: 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 💡 In his article for #SerleShare, Christopher Stoner KC considers the lessons from the recent judgment of Master Brightwell, handed down on 10 September 2024, in 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘌𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘓𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘷 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘓𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 & 𝘈𝘯𝘰𝘳 [2024] EWHC 2318 (Ch). The High Court has, for the first time, considered whether an expert determination clause can be separable from the underlying agreement in the same manner as an arbitration clause, the separability of which is well established and enshrined in s.7 of the Arbitration Act 1996. 📜 A copy of the judgment is available here: https://lnkd.in/gy6Uja7W 💻️ https://lnkd.in/gUDcpmvi
