Altech Radio Holdings (Pty) Ltd v Aeonova360 Management Services (Pty) Ltd and Another (2023/001585) [2023] ZAGPJHC 475 (15 May 2023)

The court held that the arbitrator did not commit a gross irregularity in the conduct of the arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator's award was based solely on the pleadings and common cause documents, and he did not prejudge or determine the merits of the claims. The process complied with the rules of natural justice, and the applicant's audi alteram partem rights were not infringed.
