The court enforces an adjudicator’s decision even where the adjudicator has made an error.
Historic Royal Palaces v Piperhill Construction Limited
That there is nothing unusual in this case should serve as a salutary reminder of the difficulties faced by those considering resisting an enforcement application. Whilst successful attempts to resist enforcement rightly receive a lot of attention in legal circles, this can give the misleading impression that they are commonplace. The reality is that they are rare exceptions. The court will enforce an adjudicator’s decision in all but limited circumstances. In this case Piperhill raised five grounds upon which to resist enforcement, and each was rejected in somewhat short order in a clear and well written judgment. Although this case was in the Courts of Northern Ireland, it is likely that a similar result would have occurred in England and Wales.
