registered trustees of the diocese of central tanganyika vs afrique engineering and construction company limited 2021 tzhccomd 2054 14 april 2021
The Sole Arbitrator committed serious irregularity and misconduct by amending pleadings to substitute the proper party, thereby exceeding his jurisdiction and manifesting bias. The award was procured against an entity not properly made a party to the proceedings, rendering the award a nullity. The arbitrator's actions tainted the proceedings and award with illegality, justifying setting aside the award under section 70 of the Arbitration Act, 2020.
