Court would have to take a position whereby both of them are accommodated. The Rules support the enforcement of the principal legislation. They cannot be divorced from one another. The Applicant should first extract an award in FORM V under the Second Schedule, register it in cou rt, get a number and then serve it on the Respondent, then the 90 days under Rule 11 would begin to run.

His}{\insrsid591863\charrsid9249053 submission is that the Ap plicant has fulfilled the requirements of Section 35. Section 36 is only an enabling section, which has guided him to make the said application. \par The issue of filing of an award in court was provided for under Section 9(2) of the old Arbitration Act and under Rule 2 of the old Rules (Cap 55}{\insrsid14384159\charrsid9249053 )}{\insrsid591863\charrsid9249053 . }{\insrsid14384159\charrsid9249053 T}{ \insrsid591863\charrsid9249053 here }{\insrsid14384159\charrsid9249053 it }{\insrsid591863\charrsid9249053 is clear that there is a basis for the rule that requires filing because there is a Section and therefore the rule is giving effect to the Section.} {\insrsid14384159\charrsid9249053 }{\insrsid591863\charrsid9249053 In the new ACA, there is no equivalent to Section 9, yet the rules are the same. \par \par On the issue of the 90 days, }{\insrsid14384159\charrsid9249053 Mr. Tumusi}{\insrsid3157548\charrsid9249053 n}{\insrsid14384159\charrsid9249053 gize }{\insrsid3157548\charrsid9249053 argued that}{\insrsid14384159\charrsid9249053 , }{ \insrsid591863\charrsid9249053 if you look at the old Arbitration Act, it did not provide for the time frame within which an application for setting aside}{\insrsid14384159\charrsid9249053 an award}{\insrsid591863\charrsid9249053 would be made. It only gave powers under Section 12. That is why in the old Rules there was rule 7 which was based on Section 9(2) of the old Act and which gave 8 weeks within which to apply to set aside an award filed under Section 9(2) of the said Act.

\par \par Filing an award was therefore crucial under the old Arbitration Act because it determined or triggered off the time within which setting aside would commence, and that was 8 weeks after the notice of filing had been served. \par \par The other important rule was Rule 14 which provided that an application to enforce an award as a decree under Section 13 (1) of the Act shall not be made }{\insrsid3409683\charrsid9249053 i}{\insrsid591863\charrsid9249053 f no objections to the award are lodged, till the expiration of eight weeks after notice of fi}{\insrsid7412252\charrsid9249053 l}{\insrsid591863\charrsid9249053 ing thereof has been served upon the party against whom the award is to be enfor ced, and if objections are lodged, till the objections have been dealt with by the court. Rules 2, 7 and 14 are actually reproduced in the new Arbitration Rules word for word, but most importantly is that unlike the old Act, the new ACA provides for time within which you can apply to set aside an arbitral award. The new ACA actually provides the time within which to set aside an award and Section 34(1) sets out the grounds for setting aside. \par \par Further, it is a cardinal conce}{\insrsid6650552\charrsid9249053 p}{\insrsid591863\charrsid9249053 t of statutory interpretation that where there is a conflict between a schedule and an earlier clause in the }{\insrsid1062450\charrsid9249053 m}{ \insrsid591863\charrsid9249053 ain Act, the earlier clause in the Act pr}{\insrsid1062450\charrsid9249053 evails}{\insrsid591863\charrsid9249053 as against the schedule.
