The Court found no misconduct: the arbitrator validly decided jurisdiction because the parties' pleadings put the larger sum in issue; the wording of the arbitrator's letter did not establish bias; refusal to admit an architect's report was a proper exercise of case-management discretion in a documentary arbitration; closure of submissions was justified. Consequently the application to remove the arbitrator was dismissed and costs were awarded to the respondent.
