The challenge threshold for English-seated arbitral awards remains challenging

The English High Court recently handed down a judgment in K1 and Others v B EWHC 2539 (Comm), dismissing an application to bring a challenge to an arbitral award under section 68(2)(g) of the Arbitration Act. Section 68 allows a party to challenge an award for a serious irregularity affecting the tribunal, the proceedings, or the award. Such irregularity must have caused, or will cause, substantial injustice. Section 68(2)(g) specifically refers to a serious irregularity where the award has been obtained by fraud, or where the award or the way in which it was procured is contrary to public policy.
