Summary

A main contractor sought to set aside portions of an ICC arbitral tribunal's 'First Partial Award' concerning a sub-contractor's interim measures application in a construction dispute. The court dismissed the setting-aside application, finding the contested decisions were 'orders or directions' for interim measures not susceptible to being set aside, and also refused the contractor's application to introduce apparent bias as a new ground.
