Haldar & & Anor v Crook & Ors (Rev1) [2026] EWHC 1091 (KB) (11 May 2026)

HDL v Butt & Anor [2025] EWHC 3410 (KB) (31 December 2025)

Project One London Ltd v VMA Services Ltd [2025] EWHC 3304 (TCC) (18 December 2025)
The High Court enforced an adjudicator’s award, rejecting natural justice challenges over valuation points, alleged ignored evidence, and reductions.
The court held that a further payment on account was an inevitable and legitimate consequence of the mechanism ruling, and conservatism in quantum was justified due to potential underestimation of irrecoverable costs and CRF's non-performance. The court fixed the further payment on account at £380,000 and summarily assessed recoverable costs at £55,000 and £11,500 for respective applications.
