Not in the mel and already on taxi, check mel/ fcom/call operations-techs = no go 99%
Point of the thread is to find out what guidance is mandatory and if any additional printed advice is available for the situation described. The binding pre-dispatch conditions of (M)MEL no longer apply to most operators at this stage.
As you remember for long years until recently, on the SA bus NWS INOP dispatch was permissible. The OP is asking about 1 tiller u/s ...
Additional thoughts
+ CAT III single with manual roll-out is permissible with NWS u/s
+ the post-maintenance check flight schedule prescribes separate verification of tillers Left and Right actually on 2 separate occasions (Airbus reference IS-ATFM E8 & F4).
