SETTING ASIDE AN INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION AWARD

Alastair Hay, KZN Regional Chair (https://coxyeats.co.za/people/alastair-hay/), unpacks the SCA's May 2026 judgment in an arbitration award, governed by the International Arbitration Act 15 of 2017, for a monetary award of €50m issued in favour of the claimant.

Can a party challenge the validity of an arbitration award issued in terms of the Act?

Does a court have any power to condone non-compliance with the Act?
