England and Wales—functus officio revisited: arbitral correction decisions as evidence in section 68 AA 1996 challenges (Seacrest v BCP)

Arbitration analysis: What is the status of an arbitral tribunal’s decision refusing to correct an award? The court considered this question in the context of an application to set aside an award on grounds of serious irregularity under section 68 of the Arbitration Act 1996 (AA 1996). The claimant, Seacrest Group Ltd (‘Seacrest’), argued that the tribunal had infringed due process in its award in an arbitration between Seacrest and the defendants, BCPR PTE Ltd and Bangchak Corporation Public Company Ltd (together ‘BCP’), by failing to address a submission made by Seacrest for the first time in its written closing—and had then erred again in refusing to correct this aspect of the award. Seacrest argued that the court could not take account of the yribunal’s comments in the correction decision to the effect that, even if it had considered the late submission, this would not have changed the award. The court disagreed. It held that the correction decision, reached under article 38 of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (2021), was admissible evidence on which the court could base a conclusion that Seacrest had not suffered a substantial injustice. The court thus took the correction decision into account in finding that Seacrest’s new point would in any event have been rejected by the tribunal.

Remedies against Swiss awards must be sought proactively and swiftly (État A v B & C)

Arbitration analysis: État A v B & C confirms two earlier holdings of the Swiss Federal Tribunal. First, if a party considers that a Swiss arbitral award was improperly notified but nevertheless became aware of the award informally, that party must raise the issue immediately so as to allow rectification of the deficiency; failing to do so, it may not later rely on notification defects . Second, Swiss arbitral awards are null and void only in exceptional circumstances, and only where the set-aside framework does not, in general, provide adequate relief. As a rule, even where a tribunal lacks jurisdiction, its awards remain valid. Written by PD Dr Johannes Landbrecht LLB, Rechtsanwalt and barrister at Walder Wyss, Geneva.
