Examines "Bridgeway Construction Ltd v Tolent Construction Ltd" in which Tolent placed a groundwork subcontract with Bridgeway that was on Tolent's home-made terms. The subcontract agreement stated that if a subcontractor calls for a referee, regardless of who wins, the subcontractor has to pay Tolent's adjudication costs. Tolent contends this clause is to deter 'spurious claims'. The article questions the worth of the clause.
