The Western Cape High Court dealt with a construction adjudication dispute between Baseline Civil Contractors and the City of Cape Town. It found that the corrected adjudication decision dated 22 May 2025 was valid and enforceable, set aside the CPA determination for reconsideration, and dismissed the materials on site claim. The City’s counter application was dismissed and costs were awarded against the City.
This may be relevant to parties dealing with construction adjudication, corrected decisions, CPA determinations, and enforcement of claims not referred to adjudication.
