Hi-Gene failed to prove any r36 ground: its inability to present its case resulted from its own inertia and failure to timely engage the tribunal or secure alternate counsel; the tribunal acted within discretion in refusing adjournment; alleged unauthorised venue choice was not pursued and Hi-Gene acquiesced such that it lost the right to resist; errors of law are for challenge at the seat (North Carolina), not a basis to refuse enforcement in New Zealand; therefore the award is enforceable and to be entered as judgment.
