Planet Shipping Co. S.A. v. Société Anonyme Marocaine de L’Industrie de Raffinage (The Athenic) - Q.B.D. (Com.Ct.) (Hobhouse J.) - 12 October 1984

Reasons of dissenting arbitrator not to be relied on in appealing arbitration award

A dispute arose out of a voyage charterparty relating to demurrage. The arbitration tribunal awarded to the shipowners various sums by way of demurrage. The award was made in a document which was signed by all three arbitrators. In fact, one of the arbitrators dissented from the conclusion, so that the award was an award which represented the decision of two of the three members of the tribunal.
