The Claimant (PBS) appealed against the order of Pepperall J dismissing PBS’s application for summary judgment of an adjudicator’s decision on grounds of arguable fraud in procuring the decision.  

PBS submitted that there was a requirement to plead fraud in a Defence, and that the Court ought of its own motion have imposed a stay of execution. 

 The appeal was unanimously dismissed. Tom Owen appeared for the successful Respondent, led by Steven Walker QC and instructed by Rebecca Williams of Watson Farley and Williams.
