The case "Balfour Beatty v. Kelston Sparkes," in which Beatty fought against the claim of Kelston, its earthwork subcontractor, for almost UKPd2 mil for further work and delay. A construction arbitrator received the case, but Balfour Beatty throught that the arbitrator was involved in misconduct. However, Balfour Beatty's disagreeing with the arbitrator did not mean that there was misconduct.
