The Court held the arbitrator merely answered the parties' submitted question by construing clause 1.7 and did not improperly grant a permanent injunction; an arbitrator has power to award equitable relief under s12 of the Arbitration Act; the award was not in conflict with public policy; however the legal question whether 'premises' includes business interests was sufficiently arguable and of wider significance to grant leave to appeal on that question.
