Article summary

Construction analysis: The court dismissed an application under section 68(2)(d) of the Arbitration Act 1996 (AA 1996) for serious irregularity. The applicant claimed that the tribunal had failed to consider all of the issues before it as it had not addressed all of the applicant’s defences. The court found that, on the facts, the points complained of had not been issues before the tribunal, and most had been decided by the tribunal in any event.
