Maurice J Bushell & Co v Born

On a s.69 Arbitration Act 1996 appeal the firm established that the (non-lawyer) arbitrator had erred in law, but the court DECLINED to set the award aside and instead REMITTED it to the same arbitrator under s.69(7): an error of law, even attended by stinging judicial criticism and a stated loss of confidence in the arbitrator, did not make remission inappropriate, the primacy of the arbitral process and fairness favouring reconsideration over setting aside.
