Key Principle

A party challenging an arbitral tribunal's declining of jurisdiction under sections 67 and 68 of the Arbitration Act 1996 must prove the existence of an authentic, binding arbitration agreement; where the underlying contract said to contain the arbitration clause is shown (or not disproved) to be a forgery, there is no valid agreement to arbitrate and the jurisdictional and serious-irregularity challenges fail.
