ARBITRATION GETS A SHOT IN THE ARM

“The Supreme Court of Appeal recently gave the process of arbitration a further shot in the arm by emphasising the commercial expediency and legal significance of arbitration,” said Shane Voigt, a partner at pan-African law firm Bowman Gilfillan. Mr Voigt specialises in construction law litigation and alternative dispute resolution and was involved in the case between Zhongji Development Construction Engineering Company Limited and Komoto Copper Company SARL from which the SCA’s judgement emanated on 01 October 2014.rn
