The court held that GCC 59(4)(b) authorises the engineer/arbitrator to examine the contractor's tender build-up for composite Bill rates to determine whether a substantial change in quantity has rendered the contractual rate unreasonable or inapplicable and to re-rate accordingly; the arbitrator's approach was correct in principle and there is no serious doubt warranting leave to appeal.
