Ted Lowery considers a decision on serial disputes

The facts

During March 2012 Hitachi engaged Sisk to provide design and construction services at a power station in Yorkshire. Clause 30 in the contract entitled Sisk to claim additional payments for certain “events” subject to the provision of detailed evidence sufficient to enable Hitachi to ascertain the validity and value of the claim. The contract provided for adjudication pursuant to the Technology and Construction Solicitors’ Association (TeCSA) rules and that an adjudicator’s decision would become final and binding if not referred to the court within 10 business days.
