Appeal against the Order of Dias J dated 15 December 2023, sitting in the Commercial Court, that allowed appeals under Section 69 of the Arbitration Act 1996.

The judge dealt with two separate appeals under the Arbitration Act 1996 relating to four arbitrations under four separate but related contracts for the sale of four second-hand oil tankers.

Each contract was concluded between one of the Claimant companies and one of the Defendant companies. The contracts were all on materially identical terms and the disputes which arose in relation to each were likewise the same. Accordingly, the four arbitrations were heard together.
