Mr Justice Chan Acting CJ :

1.  In this application for leave to appeal, the applicant raises the same questions of law as those raised in the lower courts. The same arguments have been made with equal force and clarity by Mr Westbrook SC (who did not appear in the courts below) for the applicant. However, these submissions had been convincingly disposed of by the Court of Appeal. We are satisfied that the Court of Appeal was clearly right in concluding that there was no doubt that the Arbitrator was correct in his decision. The application for leave to appeal is accordingly dismissed with costs on an indemnity basis.
