The court dismissed the setting aside application and allowed enforcement: YTL waived any objection to the arbitrator's delay by failing to timely object or seek termination under ss16/18 AA 2005; Article 21.3 delay did not ipso facto void the arbitrator's mandate where parties did not act; the arbitrator had jurisdiction under the parties' arbitration agreement and PAM Rules (and s33(6) AA 2005) to award pre-award interest and did not breach natural justice; delay alone did not meet the narrow public policy threshold for setting aside; award enforced as judgment with costs.
