The appellant challenged a provincial appellate ruling that reversed leave to appeal an arbitral award under s. 31 of the Arbitration Act.
The dispute concerned whether an option to renew was validly exercised by letter under a commercial agreement.
The appellate court held no pure question of law arose from the arbitrator’s interpretation, so the statutory leave threshold was not met.
The Court dismissed the appeal substantially for the reasons of the Court of Appeal of British Columbia.
