The High Court refused to set aside the Final Award because the respondent failed to establish any of the limited statutory grounds under ss36/39 Arbitration Act 2005: there was no demonstrable breach of natural justice, no excess of jurisdiction, and the alleged conflict of interest had been previously litigated and dismissed (res judicata/estoppel); the arbitrator had considered the evidence and issues; therefore the award is final and enforceable and recognition and enforcement are granted.
