ABSTRACT

Award of Arbitrator and Subsequent Reviews It is generally considered that an award of an arbitrator, whether it decides mere facts or a combination of facts and law, is not binding at subsequent reviews. Therefore it could be that where idiosyncratic points of law arise, these matters could be the subject of a diverse arbitral decision on each occasion. However, it is considered that where both parties sensibly agree to attach the arbitrator's award and the submissions relevant thereto to the lease such an attachment should, even in the event of an assignment, persuade the parties that the matter has been previously argued in sufficient depth to make unnecessary fresh and further disputes as to the niceties of meaning on fact and points of law.
