Serious irregularity: production of evidence

The question before Blair J in General National Maritime Transport Company v STX France SA [2016] EWHC 1187 (Comm) was whether a tribunal had been guilty of serious irregularity under sections 68(2)(a) and 68(2)(d) of the Arbitration Act 1996 (failure to adhere to natural justice and failure to deal with all of the issues) by allowing the respondent in the proceedings to provide only a redacted version of a contract that the tribunal had earlier directed should be produced.
