Cap. 7:15
ARBITRATION ACT
Act 6/1996
(ii) the party against whom the award is invoked was not given proper notice of the
appointment of an arbitrator or of the arbitral proceedings or was otherwise
unable to present his case; or
(iii) the award deals with a dispute not contemplated by or not falling within the
terms of the submission to arbitration, or it contains decisions on matters
beyond the scope of the submission to arbitration, provided that, if the
decisions on matters submitted to arbitration can be separated from those not so
submitted, that part of the award which contains decisions on matters submitted
to arbitration may be recognised and enforced; or
(iv) the composition of the arbitral tribunal or the arbitral procedure was not in
accordance with the agreement of the parties or, failing such agreement, was
not in accordance with the law of the country where the arbitration took place;
or
(v) the award has not yet become binding on the parties or has been set aside or
suspended by a court of the country in which, or under the law of which, that
award was made; or
(b) if the court finds that—
(i) the subject-matter of the dispute is not capable of settlement by arbitration
under the law of Zimbabwe; or
(ii) the recognition or enforcement of the award would be contrary to the public
policy of Zimbabwe.
(2) If an application for setting aside or suspension of an award has been made to a court
referred to in paragraph (1) (a) (v) of this article, the court where recognition or enforcement is
sought may, if it considers it proper, adjourn its decision and may also, on the application of the
party claiming recognition or enforcement of the award, order the other party to provide
appropriate security.
(3) For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of paragraph (1) (b) (ii)
of this article, it is declared that the recognition or enforcement of an award would be contrary
to the public policy of Zimbabwe if—
(a) the making of the award was induced or effected by fraud or corruption; or
(b) a breach of the rules of natural justice occurred in connection with the making of the
Aaward.
