There are currently no known outstanding effects for the Arbitration Act 1996, Section 66.
(1)An award made by the tribunal pursuant to an arbitration agreement may, by leave of the court, be enforced in the same manner as a judgment or order of the court to the same effect.
(2)Where leave is so given, judgment may be entered in terms of the award.
(3)Leave to enforce an award shall not be given where, or to the extent that, the person against whom it is sought to be enforced shows that the tribunal lacked substantive jurisdiction to make the award.
The right to raise such an objection may have been lost (see section 73).
(4)Nothing in this section affects the recognition or enforcement of an award under any other enactment or rule of law, in particular under Part II of the M1Arbitration Act 1950 (enforcement of awards under Geneva Convention) or the provisions of Part III of this Act relating to the recognition and enforcement of awards under the New York Convention or by an action on the award.
