Issues concerning sections 67 and 69 of the Arbitration Act 1996. It first concerns the application of the Claimant (the ‘Owners’) pursuant to section 67 of the Arbitration Act 1996 (‘1996 Act’) for an order setting aside a London arbitral tribunal’s final award on jurisdiction dated 2 March 2020, by which it held that it had substantive jurisdiction to hear the parties’ dispute (the ‘Award’).
If that application is dismissed, then the Owners seek permission to appeal against the ruling on time bar contained in paragraph C of the Tribunal’s Award pursuant to section 69 of the 1996 Act. They maintain that this ruling was on a question of law, is obviously wrong and that it is just and proper in all the circumstances for the court to determine the question.
