Preliminary objections to an arbitration petition dismissed; petition proceeds to hearing.
* Arbitration Act – petition under Arbitration Rules is an application, not a ‘pleading’ under Civil Procedure Code. * Civil Procedure – Order VI Rule 14 (signature of advocate) inapplicable to arbitration petitions. * Preliminary objections – must be pure points of law; objections requiring factual inquiry or evidence are not suitable for disposal at preliminary stage. * Limitation – computation of time to challenge award depends on when award was received; where receipt is disputed, factual inquiry required.
