In 1990, Thomas proved that every graph admits a tree decomposition of minimum width additionally satisfies certain vertex-connectivity condition called leanness. This result had many uses and has been extended to several other decompositions. this paper, we consider tree-cut decompositions, have introduced by Wollan (2015) as possible edge-version We show an edge-connectivity analogous Thomas'
