HT-2024-LDS-000009 - [2024] EWHC 2188 (TCC)

This judgment follows the hearing of the Claimant’s application for summary judgment dated 21 March 2024 to enforce an adjudication decision made by Mr Latham dated 5 March 2024 in favour of the Claimant against the Defendant. The Defendant resists enforcement, inviting the court to exercise its discretion to set off or withhold enforcement of Mr Latham’s award on the basis of a second adjudication decision made by Mr Lord dated 14 April 2024. The Defendant does not assert a defence as a result of a jurisdictional challenge or a breach of natural justice against enforcement of the decision.

At the hearing, I had the benefit of written and oral submissions from both Mr Adam Beaumont for the Claimant and Mr David Fearon for the Defendant, both of Counsel.
