PETROTRIN has another opportunity to resist the enforcement of a $74 million arbitration award to a contractor.
In a recent decision, Justices of Appeal Peter Rajkumar and James Aboud allowed Petrotrin’s appeal of a judge’s decision to dismiss its application to have an arbitration award set aside.
In their decision, the judges said Justice Ricky Rahim should have first considered Petrotrin’s application before proceeding to Pioneer Construction’s application to have the arbitration award enforced.
Petrotrin, which was represented by attorneys Deborah Peake, SC, and Ravi Heffes-Doon, had complained that Rahim misunderstood its application, failed to appreciate its pleadings and provided no analysis when he delivered his oral decision in March.
