Covid-19 and adjudication
In MillChris Developments Ltd v Waters [2020] 4 WLUK 45 Jefford J declined to grant the claimant an interim injunction to
restrain the defendant from continuing with an adjudication because of the Covid-19 pandemic. In reaching this conclusion
she emphasised that it is very rare for the courts to intervene by way of an injunction in the context of an ongoing adjudication.
On the facts of this particular case it was held that the difficulties of which the claimant complained had not been caused
by the pandemic so that there was no justification for the grant of the injunction which was sought.
