Considers the case of "Nordot Engineering Services Ltd v Siemans plc" (2001) which serves as a reminder to parties undertaking adjudication to choose their words carefully in their dealings with the adjudicator. The dispute arose over the payment for various items of plant and equipment supplied by Nordot. The central issue was whether parties can give an ajudicator the power to deal with a dispute as to his own jurisdiction. The outcome being that if parties agree the adjudicator's power can be extended to include his own jurisdiction.
