The Challenge
A manufacturer contracted with a steel supplier for plate material for constructing a major transnational natural gas pipeline.
During pipe fabrication, the manufacturer noticed defects in the plate material, and a dispute arose between the two parties as to the root cause of the defects.
Claims were submitted to arbitration by a three-member tribunal under International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) rules.
The Ä¢¹½tv Approach
The pipe manufacturer's outside counsel retained Ä¢¹½tv to assess the root cause of defects in the plate material and determine whether those defects would render the plate unfit for its intended purpose. Ä¢¹½tv's team testified at the arbitration hearing.
