SCHEDULEACAS ARBITRATION SCHEME

XXV.LOSS OF RIGHT TO OBJECT

168

If a party to arbitral proceedings under this Scheme takes part, or continues to take part, in the proceedings without making, either forthwith or within such time as is allowed by the arbitrator or by any provision in this Scheme, any objection:

i

that the arbitrator lacks substantive jurisdiction (as defined in paragraph 162 above), aside from any jurisdictional objection with respect to the circumstances of the dismissal, which will be waived in any event, as set out in paragraphs 16-18 above,

ii

that the proceedings have been improperly conducted,

iii

that there has been a failure to comply with the Arbitration Agreement or any provision of this Scheme, or

iv

that there has been any other irregularity affecting the arbitrator or the proceedings,

he or she may not raise that objection later, before the arbitrator or the court, unless he or she shows that, at the time he or she took part or continued to take part in the proceedings, he or she did not know and could not with reasonable diligence have discovered the grounds for the objection.
