Old arbitration law governs the dispute; award upheld except remitted to quantify refund amounts and allow set-off.
Arbitration law – applicability of repealed statute – repeal does not affect arbitral proceedings commenced before new Act comes into force; Arbitration – remittance of award – remit where award omits or fails to particularize consequential monetary determinations; Contracts/Illegality – refunds and unjust enrichment – money paid under illegal agreement may be recoverable where parties are not in pari delicto and unjust enrichment arises; Arbitrators’ jurisdiction – arbitrator may decide consequential matters necessary for finality without acting ultra vires.
