The Court of Appeal heard the appeal of PC Harrington v Systech in a case decided initially in the Technology and Construction Court (TCC) last year. The CoA decided that the Adjudicator was not entitled to his fees as his decision had been shown to be unenforceable. Whilst an Adjudicator has to undertake several stages in reaching his decision, it is the decision alone that the parties require. An unenforceable decision is of no use to any party. However the Court said that this may not be the case if the Adjudicator’s terms of appointment provided for his fees to.
