(b)there is evidence before the Adjudicator which suggests that a group undertaking (“U”) in relation to the pub-owning business—
(i)discharges, has discharged, exercises or has exercised, influence over any of P’s obligations under the tenancy or licence to which the dispute relates; or

in a way which is relevant to the dispute.
(2) Where this regulation applies, the Adjudicator may determine that U is to be treated as a pub-owning business, as well as or instead of P, for the purposes of the arbitration.

(b)the tied pub tenant has not notified U in writing of the dispute; or
(c)the tenant has not forwarded a copy of the request to U.
