520			_a[2006] EWHC 1055 Comm, 12 May 2006. Application by N for the removal of T, an arbitrator, and for an order setting aside his decisions. T was appointed under the short procedure arbitration rules of the Institution of Chemical Engineers to resolve a dispute between N and M. N expressed concern about a number of T's actions, in particular his direct contact with witnesses, one of whom N believed was likely to be hostile because of a separate matter. N gave notice to terminate the short procedure. T awarded M's costs against N. N argued that it had suffered substantial injustice, both because there were doubts about T's impartiality, and because his conduct amounted to a serious irregularity. "Held": T's conduct in contacting witnesses directly amounted to a failure to conduct the proceedings properly, such that a fair-minded and informed observer would conclude there was a real possibility of bias. For that reason, his decisions had to be set aside, and T removed as arbitrator. Apart from this, T's decisions and actions did not disclose serious irregularity. The application was granted.
