Challenges to an award: serious irregularity and error of law
A v B [2018] EWHC 2325 (Comm), a combined appeal for serious irregularity under section 68 of the Arbitration Act 1996 and an application for permission to appeal on the ground of error of law under section 69, appears to be yet another case where the challenge was little more than an attempt to have a second bite of the cherry.
Sir Ross Cranston dismissed all of the arguments put by the appellants. Much of the case is factual, but there are some observations
of wider interest.
