An arbitration award in a dispute between Messrs. S. Rakusen Sons and their compradores, Roy King and Kuan Ching, was the subject of proceedings in H. Supreme Court on Tuesday before the Assistant Judge, Mr. Peter Grain. Through their representative, Mr. P. W. Goldring, the Chinese asked for judgement in the terms of the arbitrators' award, whilst Mr. H. Rodger, for Messrs. Rakusen, submitted a motion for reference back to the arbitrators.
Mr. Rodger dealt at length with matters of contract involved in the dispute which he said had not been dealt with in the award, and contended that in one instance the award was contrary to law. Counsel sought to show that the arbitrators failed to decide all the matters which were referred to them, decided matters which were not in fact included in the submission, and gave an award inconsistent with the submission and the evidence brought before them.
Mr. Goldring contended that the award was perfectly clear and that nothing had been brought forward to show that it was in any way bad.
