Enclosure No. 2

THE ARBITRATION (AMENDMENT) (NO. 2) ORDINANCE 1985

(No. 75 of 1985)

This Ordinance amends the Arbitration Ordinance

in two ways

(a) first, section 6B is amended to put it beyond

doubt that where the High Court appoints an arbitrator or umpire for consolidated arbitration proceedings, the prior appointment of any other arbitrator or umpire to any of the arbitration proceedings forming part of the consolidation is automatically terminated; and

(b)

2.

secondly, section 30 is amended to put it beyond doubt that an order under section 6B to consolidate arbitration proceedings can also provide for the remuneration of arbitrators and umpires.

Before the Governor assented to the Bill in the name and on behalf of Her Majesty, the Attorney General advised that he could properly do so.

2 January 1986.
