The Arbitration Act 2005 applies the juridical seat doctrine to domestic arbitrations; the specific seat (here Kuala Lumpur) determines which High Court has exclusive supervisory jurisdiction over regulation, registration, enforcement and setting aside of the award; consequently the Kota Kinabalu High Court order purporting to set aside and remit parts of the award was void and the Kuala Lumpur seat court's registration prevails.
