Charlene Linneman, in a paper given at the latest Fenwick Elliott Construction Law Update Seminar held at Simpsons in the Strand, London, reviews the key adjudication issues that have arisen over the past 12 months. These include the use of injunctions to restrain adjudication, fraud, making a jurisdictional reservation and the slip rule. Amongst the cases Charlene considers are Mentmore Towers v Packman Lucas, SG South Ltd v King’s Head, GPS Marine Contractors Ltd v Ringway Infrastructure Services Ltd and Anrik Ltd v AS Leisure Properties Ltd.
Victoria Russell provided a case law update paper and talk to the members of the South East branch of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators discussing the most recent decisions relating to adjudication enforcement and arbitration.
