    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCT67/2019

    Because the Arbitrator failed to give reasons on interest and costs the Award was properly remitted; the remission was not attributable to the Respondent and the Applicant's insistence on varying the costs order was unreasonable; both parties failed to act reasonably and promptly to save costs, therefore the court ordered that each party bear its own costs of the Originating Summons.

    VIGOUR LTD v. HYUNDAI ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION CO LTD

    Citation
    VIGOUR LTD v. HYUNDAI ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION CO LTD
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCT24/2008

    Leave to appeal was refused because the arbitrator's construction of 'occupants' as meaning whoever would next occupy a particular part of the works (including contractors) was not obviously wrong in context, and the asserted 'final tests' ground was not sufficiently pleaded in the arbitration so the arbitrator rightly treated it as not a live issue; therefore no obvious error of law was shown to justify leave.
