INTRODUCTION Glaziers Engineering Pte Ltd v WCS Engineering Construction Pte Ltd [2018] SGCA 66 is the fourth Court of Appeal decision rendered in 2018. It concerned an application to set aside an adjudication determination issued under the SOP Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act (Cap. 30B) (“SOPA”) for an alleged breach of natural justice by the adjudicator. In this post, we highlight one aspect of the Court of Appeal’s decision which will have important practical significance to claimant’s and respondent’s in the SOPA adjudication process. This is the standard of persuasion that should be applied by an adjudicator and which has to be met by the parties in order to succeed in their respective claims or set-offs. 6/11/2018
