Supplementary provisions to challenge appeal

50.—(1) This section shall apply to an application or appeal under section 45, 48 or 49.

(2) An application or appeal may not be brought if the applicant or appellant has not first exhausted—
 * (a) any available arbitral process of appeal or review; and
 * (b) any available recourse under section 43 (correction or interpretation of award and additional award).

(3) Any application or appeal shall be brought within 28 days of the date of the award or, if there has been any arbitral process of appeal or review, of the date when the applicant or appellant was notified of the result of that process.

(4) If on an application or appeal it appears to the Court that the award—

the Court may order the arbitral tribunal to state the reasons for its award in sufficient detail for that purpose.
