As a result, the grounds for impeaching such a decision are extremely limited. By far the most common attack on the decision of an adjudicator is the submission that the adjudicator had no jurisdiction to reach that decision. Because courts have been clear that a decision will be summarily enforced unless it is one that the adjudicator did not have the jurisdiction to reach, commercial necessity has led defendants to take all manner of points to support the proposition that the adjudicator had no relevant jurisdiction.","PeriodicalId":434490,"journal":{"name":"Coulson on Construction Adjudication","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127173978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authorities refer to this as ‘ad hoc adjudication’, a process whereby the parties agree to confer jurisdiction on an adjudicator to decide the particular dispute that has arisen between them. Because this is a matter entirely for the agreement of the parties, such an adjudication may arise under contracts other than construction contracts, or under contracts for the provision of work and services that would otherwise be excluded by the provisions of the 1996 Act.","PeriodicalId":434490,"journal":{"name":"Coulson on Construction Adjudication","volume":"5 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120996789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Nikko Hotels (UK) Ltd v MEPC plc, a rent review case, the lease contained a formula for increasing the rent, which necessitated the determination of the average hotel room rate. The independent expert, whose determination of the issue was provided for by the terms of the lease, construed that expression as meaning the average of the published prices at which rooms were said to be available, rather than the average room rate actually achieved. This interpretation of the lease naturally meant that the rate was higher than it would otherwise have been, and the tenants issued an originating summons, alleging that the decision was a nullity because it was based on a misconstruction of the rent review clause.","PeriodicalId":434490,"journal":{"name":"Coulson on Construction Adjudication","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133816372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
