Appeal against award: running of time
In JSC “Kazan Oil Plant” v Aves Trade DMCC [2025] EWHC 2713 (Comm); [2025] 2 Lloyd’s Rep 552 Bright J confirmed previous authority for the proposition that where there is a tiered arbitration provision consisting of a first-tier tribunal with appeal to an appeal board, the 28-day period allowed by section 70(3) of the Arbitration Act 1996 for challenging the award of the appeal board runs from the date of the award and not from the date on which the award was notified to the appellant.
