Setting Aside of Arbitration Award : Duty to Provide a Reasoned Award and to Consider Parties’ Submissions
Kebabangan Petroleum Operating Company Sdn Bhd v Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd [W-02(C)(A)-1836-09/2022]
Could an application to set aside an award be sustained on the ground of a failure to provide reasons, assuming the parties had agreed to adopt the UNCITRAL or AIAC Rules?

Whilst natural justice does not require the Tribunal to respond to all of parties’ submissions, would the failure to address significant issues, which could have impacted the outcome of the award, constitute a breach of natural justice?
