KNIGHTS & KNIGHTS

In *Knights & Knights*, the applicant sought to set aside an arbitration award. The respondent, Knights & Knights, was the party in whose favour the award was made. The application was heard by Judge Brown.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the arbitration award should be set aside on the grounds of alleged procedural unfairness or a failure to afford natural justice. Specifically, the applicant contended that the arbitrator had failed to give adequate consideration to certain evidence and arguments presented during the arbitration proceedings.

Judge Brown dismissed the application, finding that the applicant had not established any grounds for setting aside the award under the relevant arbitration legislation. The court reasoned that the arbitrator had conducted the proceedings in a manner that was fair and in accordance with the principles of natural justice. The applicant's dissatisfaction with the outcome or the weight given to particular evidence did not, in itself, constitute a valid basis for judicial intervention.

Consequently, the court ordered that the application be dismissed and that each party bear their own costs.
