The appellants appealed the refusal to set aside an international commercial arbitration award under the UNCITRAL Model Law as incorporated by Ontario statute.
They argued that the arbitral procedure offended public policy and that they had been unable to present their case because of limited disclosure of agreements and the absence of foreign witnesses.
The court held that the tribunal's procedure did not offend local principles of justice and fairness in a fundamental way and that the appellants had not been deprived of an adequate opportunity to present their case.
The appeal was dismissed with costs.
