Summary

The Respondent challenged the Sole Arbitrator’s impartiality and requested his removal, arguing bias in appointment and procedural decisions, including refusal to disqualify the Claimant’s law firm. The Court found no justifiable doubts as to the arbitrator’s independence, holding that procedural decisions fell within his discretion and that no real conflict of interest was proven. The application to remove the arbitrator was dismissed. Download PDF
