	Guaranteed Ashphalt v. Taylor Woodrow Construction Ltd [1998] APP.L.R. 06/05
	Application s23 AA 1996 Removal for misconduct : Acrimonious arbitration – with much bad feeling on both sides – arbitrator remained professional at all times. Application groundless and refused. “This application was made 1 year after publication of Award no 1. The order was issued over 15 months before. No complaint had been made previously that the Order was one the arbitrator had no power to make. It is doomed to fail. Although the Order could be described as procedural mishap, it is not misconduct. It was made at the express request of one party without the other objecting. The arbitrator can hardly be faulted for making the Order. It is open to G to apply to the arbitrator to lift the stay, even if the sums provided for in the Order are not paid. If the arbitrator declines to do so, G could, if it wished make another misconduct application. I refuse the application for leave to amend.” TCC. 5th June 1998.
