An appeal from an arbitrator's decision in a long-running dispute between law firms regarding a Professional Services Agreement.
The appellants challenged the arbitrator's handling of a solicitor-client privilege objection to spreadsheets and her refusal to remove respondents' counsel who received the allegedly privileged documents.
The court upheld the arbitrator's decision to dismiss the privilege motion while reserving the right to reconsider the issue after further evidence, and upheld the decision not to remove counsel.
The court found the arbitrator acted within her discretion and applied the law reasonably to the circumstances.
