The Supreme Court upheld a ruling that the contract required adjudication before arbitration, so the arbitral tribunal lacked jurisdiction over the claim.
The Supreme Court held that Rwema's claims had already been adjudicated in prior judgments, invoking res judicata. The arbitration agreement between the parties required disputes to be resolved by arbitration, and the arbitral award was final and not subject to appeal. The 30-day period in the mission letter did not invalidate the award, as the contract did not specify consequences for exceeding it. Rwema's assertion of signing under disadvantage was unsupported by evidence of coercion. The appeal lacked merit and was dismissed.
Source excerpt
The appeal lacks merit because the dispute was already adjudicated by competent courts, the arbitration award was final and binding, and the terms of reference did not provide for invalidation of the award if issued after the 30-day period.
