The amendment adding an ex turpi causa ground was refused because it amounted to an application to extend time without any explanation or exceptional circumstances; the proposed illegality argument was unpleaded, irrelevant to the contract dispute and legally hopeless under the modern test in Stone & Rolls; accordingly leave to appeal was refused and the arbitrator's construction of the contract was not shown to be obviously wrong.
