ARBITRATION AWARD DISPUTE
MATTER BEFORE THE
APPEAL - COURT. BUILDING · CONTRACT SEQUEL
An appeal and cross-appeal against the decision of Mr. Justice 1. 1. Lindsell, in connection with an award by arbitration, were brought before the Full Court this morning by the Sze Tung & Co. and LI Yik-yin res pectively.
The appeal nroza from 'an award by Messrs. Chau and Lee, architects and arbitralors for bolk parties, giving damages to Li, for delay in work on a building contract. The appellants were at satisfied and came before Mr. Justice Lindsell who, however, uphold the arbitration. They now naked the Court to reverse the deri-
ion...
The cross-appeal was that so much of the decision of Mr. Justice Lindrell as related to the implied authority given to the arbitrators by the np. pellants to award damages, etc., should be varied, namely that the appellants impliedly authorised the arbitrators to award damages for de- lay and that Inasmuch as no objection to the arbitratore Jurisdiction was taken by the appellents on or before the arbitration, they waived their [rights (1 nay) in respect thereof,
'The
trial Judges were the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor, and Mr. Justice J. J. Hayden, Acting Puismo Judge.
Mr. H. C. Macnamara, instructed by Mr. C. E. R. Sanderson, of Mesars, Russ & Co.. appeared for the 5ze Tung & Co., while L Yik-yin was re- prezented Mr. Leo D'Almada, jnr., in structed by Mr. G. S. Hugh-Jones, of Mesars, Wilkinson and Crist.
PREVIOUS LITIGATION
Mr. Macnamara said the proceed- ings arose out of a building contract made in 1932. It had already given rise to a certain amount of litigation which had fortunately been terminat- ed, and the only question now re- mined was the award made by the architects, purporting to be under Cinuse 4 of the contract. The point which he asked the Court to rule in his favour was that the dispute which was solled by arbitration did not the come under the provisions of olause.
Counsel then read the clause which stated: "The architects shall be the absoluto judges as to the quality and sufficiency of all materials and work- manship and of the adequacy of the number of workmen umployed on the work, as to the value of the work executed and materials, supplied and ns to the truo intent and meaning of this specification. In those and in all other respects; they shall act es arbitrator between the parties of this contract and their decision shall be final and without appeal."
the
Continuing, Counsel said that what particule dispute was could be discovered from a letter written by

Counsel then directed, the attention of the Court to Clause 15 of the con- tract, which stated: "The whole works shall be completed to the atisfaction of the architects on or before March 2, 1933 with an allow- unce for rainy weather to be made by the principal, in default thereto the contractor shall forfeit a sum of $20 a day for every day the work delayed or not completed beyond the above mentioned period, which sum the said principal may, with the con- currence of the architects, deduct from monies in hand, not as penalty bui as liquidated and agreed damages."

Mr. Trump said that if the yard could be defined as being so many times the wave-length of light ina selected line, the material bar repre- senting it would become a "derived" standard.
