In Tang, the Honourable Mr Justice Hildyard dismissed a claim under s67of the Arbitration Act 1996 that a final LCIA Award should be found to be of no effect on grounds that the Tribunal had lacked substantive jurisdiction to determine the dispute in question.
In his judgment, Hildyard J has provided an extremely useful summary of the law (from 56 to 61) relating to the enforceability and effect of ADR provisions that purport to provide for the conciliation and meditation of disputes prior to the issue of arbitration or court proceedings
