In part four of an NLJ series on the Arbitration Act 1996, reflecting on the first 25 years, Ravi Aswani & Valya Georgieva discuss appeals on a point of law.
Aswani, of 36 Stone, and Georgieva, senior associate at Penningtons Manches Cooper, look at section 69 challenges and the Law Commission’s consultation on potential reform of the Act.
They write: ‘Many practitioners have long questioned whether… it should be entirely dependent on the High Court judge whose decision would be the subject of consideration by the Court of Appeal whether the appeal can go any further.’
This, their fourth and final article on the routes to challenging an arbitral award, can be read here.
