The Antclizo The Multitank Holsatia

In a previous issue of this Quarterly 1 the writer commented upon the decision of the Court of Appeal in The Antclizo.2 The facts of the case were set out in that commentary and the writer expressed the hope, in common with many others, that the House of Lords would soon take up the opportunity to review and perhaps clarify the law on the troublesome subject of the abandonment of commercial arbitrations by silence or inactivity by either or both of the parties to an arbitration.
