In 2016 RLD entered into a contract with Rhatigan to construct six new homes in Wimbledon. The works were completed during 2018. On 4 June 2018 Rhatigan issued a draft variation showing a final account value of £8.6m that it said had been agreed at a meeting on 30 May. On 6 June RLD emailed to acknowledge the agreed £8.6m figure but mentioned that it would be premature and misleading for Rhatigan's contractor's reports to refer to the agreement until it had been finalised and executed as a variation deed. During September 2018 Rhatigan made an application for payment based on a gross sum of £8.6m. RLD denied that this figure had been agreed and in October 2018 Rhatigan submitted a further application for payment claiming a gross sum of £12.4m. RLD then commenced adjudication in respect of the proper valuation of Rhatigan's October payment application.
