Atholl Developments (Slackbuie) Ltd, Re Application for Judicial Review [2010] ScotCS CSOH_94 (14 July 2010)

The petitioner failed to demonstrate that the adjudicator exceeded his jurisdiction, failed to exhaust his jurisdiction, or materially breached the rules of natural justice. Mere errors or omissions in considering evidence or submissions do not justify reduction of the adjudicator's decision. The Second Adjudication is not tainted as it properly relied on the binding First Adjudication.
