Whizz-bang walloped

Bingham, T.

Whizz-bang walloped - 2003 - Building 268(8288) 20 June 2003, 54-55(2) .

Discusses the implication for adjudication and arbitrators in "Badderley and another v Barker" ([2003] EWCA Civ 742, unreported). Here a nuisance claim was originally dismissed by the use of documents only. Argues that it may sometimes be unfair to conduct a case in this way as the adjudicator needs to 'see, hear and feel' the answers to awkward questions. Concludes by stating that the answer may well be to stop bringing big cases to adjudication unless an adjudicator can be found who is fair. View judgment at www.bailii.org.
