AZ v BY

AZ v BY

The dispositive section of the Spot CN Award did not require endorsement by the CX Tribunal for non-consent awards; any ambiguity is resolved by reading the award as a whole. Even if endorsement were required, the parties and tribunal could by agreement revive jurisdiction to issue an additional award, and the CX Tribunal's additional award was valid.
