Arbitration

In an arbitration clause the phrase “The dispute shall be submitted to the arbitrators in such manner as they shall deem appropriate and the decision of the majority of the arbitrators, rendered in writing, shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties, and the judgment upon such decision may be entered in any court of a country having jurisdiction” was not to be construed as an agreement excluding the parties’ rights of appeal, in relation to a question of law, under the Arbitration Act 1996, s 69.
