Arbitration
Haley v Haley [2020] EWCA Civ 1369, [2020] All ER (D) 110 (Oct)
In family proceedings where one party challenged an arbitral award made in the context of litigation concerning applications for financial remedies following divorce, the Court of Appeal, Civil Division, found that challenges to an arbitral award were not limited to the statutory challenges found under the Arbitration Act 1996. The ‘appeals test’ in the Family Procedure Rules 2010 (SI 2010/2955), could be applied to determine whether the court should have declined to make an order in the terms of an arbitral award. Accordingly, the court could exercise its discretion and decline to make an order in the terms of the arbitral award, and could substitute its own order instead, if it determined that the arbitral award was wrong.
