Commercial and civil litigation - attack of arbitrator's decision
11 November 2011
On 10th November 2011 the Court of Appeal held that the grounds for leave to appeal against an arbitrator's award were severely restricted and effectively leave to appeal would only be granted if an award was obviously wrong so as to be classified as effectively an intellecutial deviance from logical and reasonable thinking. It was not enough that there was an arguable error, or that another Judge may have reached a different decision.
