This means that where a court can distinguish between the terms of the award that are subject to being set aside from those that are not, it will then uphold that part of the award that does not disclose the grounds for a setting aside application. Section 35 (2)(a)(iv) also formed the basis of the court\u2019s judgement because the court maintained that it would not uphold an arbitral award if the arbitrator went beyond their scope of reference when making the arbitral award.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELEVANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Section 35 (4) stipulates that courts should take such other action that will eliminate the grounds for setting aside the arbitral award. This means that courts will not set aside an entire award where some terms of the award were rightfully rendered within the arbitrator\u2019s jurisdiction. Courts are therefore allowed to partially set aside an award if part of the award discloses grounds for a setting aside application.<\/li>\n<li>Section 35 (2)(a)(iv) provides that an application can be set aside if an arbitrator considers matters that are beyond their scope of reference. Arbitrators should therefore be fully aware of the matters that are referred to them in the arbitration agreement to prevent rendering an award that may be subject to a setting aside application.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Case No. CA\/98\/2016<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13255,"template":"","doc_categories":[404,367],"doc_tags":[405],"doc_author":[],"file_type":[356],"class_list":["post-13298","dlp_document","type-dlp_document","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","doc_categories-404","doc_categories-case-laws","doc_tags-caselaws2016","file_type-pdf"],"download_url":"https:\/\/ciarbkenya.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Case-No.-98-2016-Summary-Ruling.pdf","file_size":"288 KB","filename":"Case-No.-98-2016-Summary-Ruling.pdf","download_count":"16","version_history":{"file":{"13299":{"version":"","last_used":1721213001}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ciarbkenya.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/dlp_document\/13298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ciarbkenya.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/dlp_document"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ciarbkenya.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/dlp_document"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ciarbkenya.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ciarbkenya.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ciarbkenya.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"doc_categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ciarbkenya.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fdoc_categories&post=13298"},{"taxonomy":"doc_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ciarbkenya.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fdoc_tags&post=13298"},{"taxonomy":"doc_author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ciarbkenya.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fdoc_author&post=13298"},{"taxonomy":"file_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ciarbkenya.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ffile_type&post=13298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
