Multiplex Constructions (UK) Ltd v West India Quay Development
Company (Eastern) Ltd
[2006]
EWHC 1569 (TCC); (2006) 111 Con LR 33
Nature of case
The TCC considered whether the adjudicator’s decision as to
liquidated damages and extensions of time had been reached in
excess of his jurisdiction and in breach of natural justice. The
Court held it had not. On the facts, the adjudicator had not
decided a case that was not put to him, at most he might have made
an error of fact or law but this in itself was insufficient to
amount to the decision being reached in excess of his jurisdiction
or in breach of natural justice. Further, the adjudicator was under
no duty to give reasons for his decision.
