Adjudicator erred in law and breached natural justice by denying Chow Group an opportunity to comment on Clearwater's reply submissions, but the breach did not cause prejudice warranting relief because the issues raised in the reply were legal and would not have altered the outcome; additionally, a contractor's bond was not a condition precedent to serve a payment claim and Chow Group's 13 December letter did not satisfy statutory requirements for a payment schedule, so the adjudicator's substantive decision stands and the judicial review is declined.
