The application for registration of the arbitral award was filed out of time, as the applicable limitation period is six months from the date of the award under item 18 of part III of the Law of Limitation Act. The award was filed four years after it was made, and no application for extension of time was made. Therefore, the application must be dismissed for being time-barred.
