Summary

DNO applied to set aside a SIAC arbitral award and sought leave to file a further affidavit to adduce evidence relating to its standing to bring the application, as the respondent in the arbitration was a registered partnership that DNO claimed had been converted into a company. The SICC granted leave to file the further affidavit, finding that the standing issue was a genuine one that merited proper evidence, the prejudice to DNO if refused was significant, and the hearing date would be preserved.
