Birtley and District Co-operative v Wendy Nook and District Industrial Co-operative Society: 1960

Two co-operative societies disputed the areas they were to cover, and went to arbitration. The dispute was followed by an award.
Held: ‘There is nothing on the face of the award to indicate that it is an unreasonable restraint of trade, against the interest of the parties or the public. And in my view, I am not entitled to look behind the award and become in effect an appellate tribunal from the arbitrators.’
