Is an arbitrator required to provide reasons or analysis?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kong v Lee, 2021 BCSC 606 (CanLII):
An arbitrator’s duty to provide reasons is not met by a statement of fact, unsupported by any reasons or analysis: Christiansen v. Woodward, 2009 BCSC 311 at paras. 17–18. That is what occurred here: the Arbitrator simply stated a conclusion, without any reference to the evidence of the parties, both oral and documentary, or the principles of contract law.
