520			_aThe Arbitration Act 1996 s68 provides that an arbitrator's decision can be challenged on the basis of serious irregularity. In "Lesotho Highlands Development Authority v Impregilo SpA and others" ([2005] UKHL 43, L130513) it was held that such a remedy had to be regarded as exceptional; the threshold that the applicant has to meet is a high one, as a court must approach an application under s68 from the standpoint that it should interfere with the arbitration as little as possible. The decision is consistent with the approach adopted by other courts who had to decide s68 applications in 2005.
