- Citation
- [2016] NZHC 690
- Court
- High Court
The adjudicator's determination was set aside because the appointment and process breached statutory requirements and natural justice, the adjudicator failed to disclose a relevant conflict, the decision gave inadequate reasons and included an unlawful award of liquidation costs, and there was no adjudicable dispute such that the adjudication was an abuse of process; costs were awarded against the claimant AFS and not against the adjudicator absent evidence of bad faith.
