Key Principle

A serious-irregularity challenge to an arbitral award (under s.90 of the Bahamas Arbitration Act 2009, materially identical to s.68 of the English Arbitration Act 1996) does not require a separate, express pleading, consideration or finding of 'substantial injustice', provided substantial injustice is in substance established; the court must avoid undue formalism and apply a fair, commercial and commonsense reading.
