LIMITED & ANOR; DAVID HURST CONSTRUCTIONS –V- RICHARD WILLIAM
FACTS:
These proceedings involved a challenge to two adjudication determinations by the plaintiffs, Mr and Mrs Shorten, against the adjudicator, the second defendant, and the builder as the first defendant. The challenge of the adjudication applications may be based on an argument that a denial of natural justice occurred where a full complete copy of the adjudication application had not been served.
