Copy-and-paste arbitral award in Arbitration? Breach of natural justice in DOI v DOJ & Others and another matter

Arbitration analysis: The case concerned an application to set aside an arbitral award (‘Award’) rendered by the majority of a three-member tribunal (‘Majority’) in a Singapore-seated arbitration administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). In a departure from the usual judicial reluctance to interfere with arbitral awards, the Singapore International Commercial Court (‘SICC’) set aside the Award for breach of natural justice, holding that the Majority had breached (a) the rule against bias in the form of prejudgment, and (b) the fair hearing rule. The claimant’s principal complaint was that the Majority had prejudged the dispute by cutting and pasting its reasoning and conclusions on all issues in the Award from awards issued in prior related arbitrations, rather than approaching the dispute with an impartial and independent mind. This analysis examines how the circumstances in this case satisfied the high threshold required to set aside an award for breach of natural justice.
