Lifestyle Retirement Projects No 2 Pty Ltd v Parisi Homes Pty Ltd & Anor [2005] NSWSC 411

The application for injunctive relief is refused because the legislation provides that questions of validity (regarding timing of payment claim and schedule) are for the adjudicator, and if an adjudication is later found invalid, remedies exist post-adjudication. It is contrary to the authority and policy of the Act to intervene at this stage.
