Arbitration
Betamax Ltd v State Trading Corp (Mauritius) [2021] UKPC 14, [2021] All ER (D) 77 (Jun)
On an appeal from the Supreme Court of Mauritius, the appellant company submitted that the court had erred in finding that an arbitrator had erred in its determination of the legality of the contract that the appellant was seeking to enforce. The Privy Council, directing that the appeal be allowed, held that the Supreme Court was in error in reviewing the decision of the arbitrator that the contract was unenforceable on public law grounds; the arbitrator’s decision was final and binding on the parties and therefore no issue arose as to whether the award was in conflict with the public policy of Mauritius
