Serious Irregularity The leading authority on Section 68 challenges is RAV Bahamas Ltd and another v Therapy Beach Club Inc [2021] UKPC 8 , which prescribes that intervention should be limited to ‘extreme’ cases and that the test of serious irregularity imposes a ‘high threshold’.
It explained that in typical contract negotiations, once the parties’ proposed terms are accepted, a binding contract is formed. However, in the case of adhesion contracts, one party presents non-negotiable terms, which the other party can either accept or reject in its entirety.
As shown above, the case has produced no fewer than three different answers by senior English lawyers and judges on two threshold points of English law: (i) whether English law contains general presumptions regarding the interpretation of contractual prohibitions on assignment; and, (ii) the proper construction of the clause at issue in this case.
For procurements exceeding specified thresholds, justification must document the effort to find alternative suppliers, listing unique technical requirements and companies contacted. A sole source purchase is justified when unique attributes or circumstances dictate that only one provider is capable of supplying the desired goods or services.
The panel noted that parties (including Japanese and Korean companies) who go through lengthy negotiations before the arbitration is commenced often can be unwilling to make a settlement offer once the arbitration is commenced. More coverage from Seoul ADR Week is available here.
Despite negotiations, GBO notified CAI that the agreement was terminated, alleging several breaches. This regulation grants a safe harbor for vertical agreements under certain conditions (among others, a 30% market share threshold and the absence of “hardcore” listed restrictions).

In 2019, the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (“AfCFTA”), negotiated under the auspice of the AU, entered into force. This changed seven years later with the adoption of the Protocol on Investment to the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement.
Due to the short timelines of emergency arbitration proceedings, an application filed during an inconvenient time of year can compel even the most intransigent parties to come to the negotiation table. Mr. Park added that third-party funders may not consider disputes below a certain threshold.
The SGCA clarified that the threshold for identifying vexatious or oppressive conduct is a high one. Arbitration clauses are often described as midnight clauses because, in practice, they may be included following minimal negotiations (as discussed here ).
Facts In 2015, DJO was negotiating various contracts for the operation of a network of railway lines in India. To be clear, the authors take no firm view on whether the arbitrators conduct in DJO reaches this threshold of severe conduct warranting the disclosure of his name.
The parties’ “war chests” and ever escalating party costs raise questions of equality of arms in the proceedings and affect their willingness to enter into settlement negotiations as well as the terms of such settlement. This finding reflects the exceptional nature of a grant of security for costs and the high threshold applied by tribunals.
