Air Design (Kent) Ltd v Deerglen (Jersey) Ltd
Citation: BLM Vol. 26 No. 1 TCC
Nature of case:
The claimant sub-contractor succeeded in enforcing the decision of an adjudicator against the defendant main contractor. The main contractor had argued that there were disputes under at least 3 sub-contracts, which did not all have adjudication provisions, so that the adjudicator had no jurisdiction. The court held that the adjudicator was entitled to decide the question as to whether there was more than one contract or one varied by agreement, which he had done.
