Read the full judgment text of FAMV 8/2013 on BabelCite. This Court of Final Appeal judgment was delivered on 24 September 2013 before Chan Acting CJ, Tang PJ, Bokhary NPJ.

1. In this application for leave to appeal, the applicant raises the same questions of law as those raised in the lower courts. The same arguments have been made with equal force and clarity by Mr Westbrook SC (who did not appear in the courts below) for the applicant. However, these submissions had been convincingly disposed of by the Court of Appeal. We are satisfied that the Court of Appeal was clearly right in concluding that there was no doubt that the Arbitrator was correct in his decision

Outcome: Application for leave to appeal dismissed.
