Any witness who gives oral evidence may be questioned by the representative of each party
and by each of the arbitrators.
The tribunal shall have power to:
X.27.1. determine any question of law or fact arising in the course of the arbitration;
X.27.2. determine any question as to its own jurisdiction;
X.27.3. make a declaration as to any matter to be determined in the proceedings;
X.27.4. order the payment of a sum of money;
X.27.5. award simple or compound interest;
X.27.6. order a party to do or refrain from doing anything;
X.27.7. order specific performance of a contract (other than a contract relating to land);
X.27.8. order the rectification, setting aside or cancellation of a deed or other document.
If the arbitrators fail to agree on any issue they shall decide by a majority and a majority
decision shall be binding on all of them. No dissenting judgment shall be produced.
The tribunal shall have power to make provisional awards during the proceedings including
without limitation requiring a party to make an interim payment on account of the claim or
the costs of the arbitration. Any such provisional award shall be taken into account when the
final award is made.
If before the award is made the parties agree on a settlement of the dispute the tribunal shall
record the settlement in the form of a consent award.
The tribunal may make more than one award at different times on different aspects of the
matters in dispute.
The award shall be in writing and shall contain reasons for the tribunal’s decision.
Until they are paid in full, the parties shall be jointly and severally liable to meet the
arbitrators’ fees and expenses, the total amount of which shall be specified in the award.
The tribunal shall award costs on the general principle that costs should follow the event
except where it appears to the tribunal that in the circumstances this is not appropriate in
relation to the whole or part of the costs.
The party in favour of which an order for costs is made shall be allowed, subject to Rule X.36,
a reasonable amount in respect of all costs reasonably incurred, any doubt as to
reasonableness being resolved in favour of the paying party.
In appropriate cases the tribunal may award costs on an indemnity basis.
