Section 39 of Arbitration Act CAP 49: Questions of law arising in domestic arbitration

(1) Where in the case of a domestic arbitration, the parties have agreed that—
(a) an application by any party may be made to a court to determine any question of law arising in the course of the arbitration; or
(b) an appeal by any party may be made to a court on any question of law arising out of the award,
such application or appeal, as the case may be, may be made to the High Court.
(2) On an application or appeal being made to it under subsection (1) the High
Court shall—
(a) determine the question of law arising;
(b) confirm, vary or set aside the arbitral award or remit the matter to the arbitral tribunal for re-consideration or, where another arbitral tribunal has been appointed, to that arbitral tribunal for consideration.
(3) Notwithstanding sections 10 and 35 an appeal shall lie to the Court of Appeal against a decision of the High Court under subsection (2)—
(a) if the parties have so agreed that an appeal shall lie prior to the delivery of the arbitral award; or
(b) the Court of Appeal, being of the opinion that a point of law of general importance is involved the determination of which will substantially affect the rights of one or more of the parties, grants leave to appeal, and on such appeal the Court of Appeal may exercise any of the powers which the High Court could have exercised under subsection (2).
(4) An application or appeal under this section shall be made within the time limit and in the manner prescribed by the Rules of Court applicable, as the case may be, in the High Court or the Court of Appeal.
(5) When an arbitral award has been varied on appeal under this section, the award so varied shall have effect as if it were the award of the arbitral tribunal concerned.
