Article summary

Arbitration analysis: In the Hong Kong Court of First Instance, Mimmie Chan J considered whether a failure to deal with a defence was sufficient grounds to refuse enforcement of an award on public policy grounds. She found that it was fundamental to concepts of fairness, due process and justice that key and material issues raised for determination should be considered and dealt with fairly. Accordingly, she remitted the award to the arbitrator.
