The decision of the majority of the CA in PT Perusahaan is in line with section 19B of the IAA, which provides that "[a]n award made by the arbitral tribunal pursuant to an arbitration agreement is final and binding". This decision reminds parties of the need to carefully frame the issues sought to be determined by an arbitral tribunal, so as to ensure that the determination of the issues in a final arbitral award do not amend, vary or revoke the arbitral tribunal's decision in respect of issues put to it in an application for a partial or an interim award.
