Read purposively, s37(1) CIPAA does not require strict simultaneous initiation of adjudication and arbitration or court proceedings; adjudication may be initiated while arbitration is pending, and an adjudicator retains jurisdiction where a valid payment claim satisfying s5(2) CIPAA is served. The adjudicator did not act beyond jurisdiction nor breach natural justice in this case; therefore the Setting Aside and Stay applications fail and the Enforcement application succeeds.
