The Claimant sought summary judgment to enforce an adjudication decision against the Defendant, who resisted enforcement on the ground that the Adjudicator had no jurisdiction because three disputes were referred to him. It is settled law that an adjudicator does not have jurisdiction to adjudicate more than one dispute in a single adjudication.
Held: The Adjudicator was right to conclude that he had jurisdiction because only one dispute had been referred to him. The dispute was whether the Claimant was entitled to payment of the sum of pounds 40,026.
