Mace Construct Ltd v Baltic Investment Holdings Ltd
[2026] EWHC 976 (TCC)
Key Principle
An adjudicator (and the court) exercising the power under the Scheme for Construction Contracts to 'open up, review and revise' the Employer's Agent's certificates and decisions stands in the agent's shoes and may revise an extension-of-time / completion-date assessment in either direction, carrying out the same prospective assessment the contract required; the prospective-assessment mechanism is not a one-way ratchet barring downward revision.
