- High Court
Because the parties knowingly adopted the Expedited Arbitration Rules which limited procedural protections and provided the arbitrator discretion to determine evidence on the papers, the arbitrator did not breach the rules of natural justice by making findings on sworn statements filed in accordance with the agreed procedure; accordingly the awards were enforceable and the applications to set them aside or to appeal were dismissed.
