Adjudication and natural justice

In Clegg Food Projects Ltd v Prestige Car Direct Properties [2025] EWHC 2173 (TCC); [2025] BLR 563, Her Honour Judge Kelly held that the defendant was not entitled to resist enforcement of the decision of an adjudicator on the ground that the adjudicator had breached the principles of natural justice or on the ground that the adjudicator had failed to give sufficient reasons for his decision. The approach of the defendant was found to be "excessively granular" in the context of an adjudication where the dispute which had been referred to adjudication was one concerning a global valuation of the work which had been done.
