I suppose so, if Ontario is the arbitral seat, then that’s the place to set aside the arbitral award.

Interesting. But surely the right thing for the clients to do would be to ask an Ontario court to set the award aside?

S. 15,and any arbitration must be conducted as if it were an assessment: Jean Estate v. Wires Jolley LLP, 2009 ONCA 339 (On. C.A.). I wonder if this arbitration was conducted in a similar fashion.
