- Summary
-
In this case the court decided that where the contract had been freely negotiated by the parties, a provision that required the referring party to pay the costs and expenses of any adjudication (including those of the adjudicator and responding party) was found to be enforceable. There were no public policy reasons as to why this provision should be declared void.
