    Decision summary
    The High Court dismissed the plaintiffs' application for leave to appeal against the partial award on a question of law and ordered costs to the Housing Authority. It held that the arbitrator's decision was neither obviously wrong nor open to serious doubt, and that the question did not warrant leave as one of general importance.
