Carnival Corporation & ors. v Estibeiro [2013] SC (Bda) 20 Civ
The parties were involved in an arbitration under Bermuda law. The Respondent had applied to the Florida Court for the appointment of a third arbitrator. The Applicants had applied to the Bermuda Supreme Court for the same, submitting that the Bermuda Court was the appropriate place to do this.
Kawaley CJ agreed that the Bermuda Court was the appropriate place to seek relief in a dispute concerning a Bermuda arbitration. He appointed Geoffrey Bell QC, who was of a higher order of seniority than those suggested by the applicants, which should help to allay the concerns of the respondent as to the third arbitrator's neutrality.
