The Court dismissed the application to set aside the Award and granted the enforcement application because Procedural Order No.9 constituted the parties' agreed procedure to treat exchanged witness statements as statutory declarations; WEE waived objections and is estopped from now attacking those statements; the Arbitrator acted within his procedural and substantive jurisdiction under the arbitration agreement and applicable rules; there was no breach of natural justice or other irregularity warranting setting aside, and minimal judicial interference doctrine mandates upholding the Award.
