Michael Trim appeared for the Applicant, instructed by McCullough Robertson Lawyers.
This case concerned an application brought pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Act 2013 (Qld), seeking orders that the Court appoint an Arbitrator (from a panel of three) in respect of the disputes between the Applicant and Respondent.
The Respondent ultimately consented to one of the candidates. The Court noted that the application proposing the three candidates was filed five weeks after the panel of three potential arbitrators had been proposed. The Court further held that it could be inferred that it was necessary for the Applicant to file and serve its application and that the Applicant should be awarded its costs.
