Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought registration of an arbitral award issued in its favor against the respondent concerning a lease dispute. The parties had agreed to arbitration before Justice N T Mtshiya regarding their lessor-lessee relationship. The arbitrator issued an award on 20 June 2022 ordering the respondent to vacate premises and pay various amounts. The respondent opposed registration claiming the award was against public policy.
