Summary

HC/OA 1149/2025 ("OA 1149") is an application to set aside in its entirety a partial final award ("Partial Final Award"), issued in an ad hoc domestic arbitration between the applicant and respondent. HC/OA 256/2026 ("OA 256") is a related application to set aside in its entirety a partial award on costs ("Costs Award") issued in the same arbitration. Both applications are made pursuant to s 48(1)(a)(iv) of the Arbitration Act 2001 (2020 Rev Ed) ("AA"), which allows an award to be set aside where it contains decisions on matters beyond the scope of the submission to arbitration, and s 48(1)(a)(v) of the AA, which allows an award to be set aside where the arbitral procedure was not in accordance with the agreement of the parties. For the reasons set out below, I dismiss both applications.

Arbitration - Award - Setting aside - Ultra petita challenge - Breach of arbitral procedure
