Adjudication - letter of intent - letter of intent not a contract - adjudicator didn't release decision until fees paid meant unacceptable delay - decision rendered unenforceable
Summary

In this case a contract based on a letter of intent was found not to be compliant with the requirement that the terms of the contract be in writing.

Also the failure of the adjudicator to release his decision until after his fees were paid introduced an unacceptable delay between the decision being made and the decision being issued which rendered his decision unenforceable.
