DCC 128/2008

This case involved the dismissal of an arbitrator. The same conditions applied to the dismissal of an arbitrator as to the dismissal of a judge. These were not the same as the dismissal of an expert.

Background

On 14-6-2006 the court ruled on the appointment of the arbitrator for the Plaintiff and the appointment of an accounting expert as an arbitrator for the Defendant, and that the two arbitrators should appoint a third arbitrator within 30 days from the date of the judgment, otherwise the accounting expert would be appointed as a third arbitrator to settle the dispute between the parties in accordance with the provisions of the law and the company's contract of 27-12-1999.
