By: Series: Construction Law Journal ; 17(1) 2001, 3-13(11)Publication details: 2001Subject(s): Summary: Examines the grounds on which a party may challenge the jurisdiction of an adjudicator: where there is no dispute; where more than one dispute has be referred to adjudication; where the dispute does not arise under the contract; and where the earlier decision of another adjudicator is revisited. Also considers the possibility of challenging a decision on the basis of a breach of natural justice or the impecuniosity of the successful party. Warns that getting an adjudicator's decision overturned is a difficult process as the courts are frequently reluctant to do so despite the fact that, as adjudication often produces rough justice, the number of applications made is likely to increase. References and case law.
