Altaras, David

Time limits for appealing against or challenging an arbitral award in England and Wales - 2008 - Arbitration 74(4) November 2008, 360-368(9) .

Commenting on a number of law cases, considers the themes of the finality of proceedings and the degree of flexibility in the application of the time limit. Highlights the importance of adhering to strict time limits in the prosecution of arbitration claims and appeals. Concludes that if a party wishes to appeal or challenge an award, it must act as quickly as possible so that the arbitration system can work effectively. Late comers can expect little sympathy from the courts and will need to present compelling reasons for the delay.
