Case in focus: JJ Rhatigan & Co (UK) Ltd vs Rosemary Lodge Developments Ltd

Ted Lowery considers a case in which the adjudicator appeared to have ignored a witness statement

The facts

In 2016 RLD entered into a contract with Rhatigan to construct six new homes in Wimbledon. The works were completed during 2018. On 4 June 2018 Rhatigan issued a draft variation showing a final account value of £8.6m that it said had been agreed at a meeting on 30 May. On 6 June RLD emailed to acknowledge the agreed £8.6m figure but mentioned that it would be premature and misleading for Rhatigan’s contractor’s reports to refer to the agreement until it had been finalised and executed as a variation deed.
