The Court of Appeal lacks jurisdiction to entertain the applicant's injunction application because the applicant neither sought nor obtained leave from the Court of Appeal to appeal against the High Court's decision under section 35 of the Arbitration Act, as required by the Supreme Court's decisions in Nyutu and Synergy. Furthermore, the applicant did not apply to set aside the arbitral award under section 35, and thus there is no decision of the High Court under that section capable of being appealed. The assertion that leave was granted by the High Court is irrelevant, as only the Court of…
