    Emcor Drake v Costain [2004] EWHC 2439
    This summary was provided by CMS Cameron McKenna LLP. For more information visit http://www.cms-cmck.com/Construction/Construction-Disputes For an adjudicator to reconsider facts and matters that have been previously adjudicated upon is not in itself objectionable. In this case the second adjudicator had not been invited to trespass on the first adjudicator's decision, nor did he do so. Furthermore the necessity to respond quickly to vast quantities of paperwork is one of the well-known hazards of the adjudication process and is not of itself a ground for finding that there has been an abuse of process. Judge Richard Havery QC, Technology and Construction Court 29 October 2004 The defendant ('CSJV') was the main contractor for the refurbishment of the Great Western Royal Hotel at Paddington.

    CIB Properties Ltd v Birse Construction [2004] EWHC 2365
    This summary was provided by CMS Cameron McKenna LLP. For more information visit http://www.cms-cmck.com/Construction/Construction-Disputes Common sense should be applied when deciding whether a dispute had crystallised. The complexity of a claim referred to adjudication will not prevent the enforcement of an adjudicator's award, providing that the adjudicator could reach a fair decision in the light of the time limits agreed between the parties. In the event that an adjudicator makes a slip in his decision and refuses to correct it, it would not be open to the court's review. His Honour Judge Toulmin CMG QC, Technology and Construction Court 19 October 2004 Birse Construction Limited ("Birse") was the main contractor for works to be carried out at a new building owned by CIB Properties Limited ("CIB") under a contract dated 8 August 2000. CIB terminated the contract on 21 December...
