The court was asked as to a short issue as to whether an adjudicator (appointed under the terms of a building contract) had jurisdiction to decide a dispute between the parties. The Appellants’ contention is that he had no jurisdiction because he was being asked to adjudicate the same or substantially the same dispute as had been decided by another adjudicator in an earlier adjudication. The Respondent contends, as the Judge found, that he did have jurisdiction.
