    [2014] NSWSC 1403
    Decision summary

    Decision summary
    The New South Wales Court of Appeal dismissed Aircraft Support Industries Pty Ltd’s appeal and ordered it to pay William Hare UAE LLC’s costs. It held that the retention-money portion of the foreign arbitral award was not affected by a denial of natural justice and could be severed and partially enforced, while the US$50,000 discount component remained unenforced.
