In Tenderbids Ltd t/a Bastion (applicant) vElectrical Waste Management Ltd (respondent) [2025] IEHC 139,the High Court in Ireland dismissed an application to enforce anadjudicator's decision. It is unusual for a Court to decide not to enforce anadjudicator's decision. The grounds for doing so are narrow. The Court must be satisfied that the adjudicator lackedjurisdiction to determine the adjudication, or there must have beena breach of the principles of natural justice.

The rules around energy management systems and energy audits are
being changed by the Recast Energy Efficiency Directive.
The previous Directive required that enterprises that are not
small and medium-sized enterprises
("SMEs") are subject to an energy audit
at least every four years. This was transposed in Irish law such
that applicability is assessed on the basis of the size of the
company formed under Irish law, rather than any wider group company
structure in which the Irish company sits.

Now that the Recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive is
formally adopted, we consider the consolidated text.
The Directive is concerned with reducing greenhouse gas
emissions from buildings and improving their energy performance, to
achieve a zero-emission building stock by 2050.
The EU first legislated over 20 years ago in the Energy
Performance of Buildings Directive 2002/91/EC, when it noted that
energy efficiency was key to meeting the Kyoto Protocol.

Sustainability and ESG-related developments with potential to
significantly impact the construction industry continue, as
reflected in our March construction horizon scanner. As the
EU's proposed Nature Restoration Law receives the endorsement
of Parliament, it is apparent that consideration has been given to
how it will interact with the development of infrastructure,
buildings, and the urban environment.
