- had jurisdiction to determine the Adjudication Application
- has afforded procedural fairness to the parties
- did not make an error
- relied solely on the material presented to him or her by the applicant and respondent
- Obtaining an Adjudication Certificate, which arises out of an Adjudicator’s Decision
