Piller Investments Limited appealed a partial arbitral award concerning a commercial lease and an option to purchase.
The arbitral panel had granted partial summary judgment on some issues and deferred others to a full hearing.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the appeal, finding the arbitral panel's substantive legal decisions were reasonable and free from errors of law.
The court also held that the panel's decision to defer certain issues was a procedural determination on which there is no right of appeal, and even if appealable, was consistent with summary judgment principles.
