Article summary

Arbitration analysis: Mr Michael Green QC, sitting as a Deputy Judge of the Chancery Division, found that where a respondent party’s substantive award had been set aside by the court following a successful appeal on a point of law pursuant to section 69 of the Arbitration Act 1996 (AA 1996), the respondent was not entitled to retain a costs order in their favour on the basis that the costs award, which followed the event, had not been specifically appealed as well.
