Summary
Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PVN) and Joint Stock Company Power Machines (PM) cross-appealed against the High Court's decision to remit, rather than set aside, portions of an arbitral award arising from a dispute over the construction of a thermal power plant in Vietnam. The key issues concerned whether PM validly terminated its contract with PVN and whether the tribunal committed a breach of natural justice in its treatment of PM's two notices of termination. The Court of Appeal allowed PVN's appeal and set aside the relevant portions of the award, finding that remission was inappropriate given the significance of the tribunal's breach.
