wa-24c-9-01-2026 High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) 23 April 2026 • WA-24C-9-01/2026

Catchwords

This case concerns applications under sections 15, 16 and 28 of the CIPAA to set aside, stay and enforce an adjudication decision arising from a construction contract dispute. The High Court held that the alleged errors by the adjudicator concerned the merits of the adjudication decision and did not amount to a denial of natural justice under section 15(b) of CIPAA. The Court further held that the existence of pending court proceedings and substantial counterclaims were not special circumstances justifying a stay under section 16(1)(b). Accordingly, the setting aside and stay applications were dismissed, and the adjudication decision was enforced.
