National January 18, 2021 ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB), while signing the agreement with the Broadsheet LLC in June 2000, had foregone the right of appeal in case of an adverse decision in arbitration. Importantly, the arbitrator, who handed the judgment, was appointed with Pakistan’s consent and this is what the agreement had provided. Clause 7.1 says any dispute, arising out of this agreement, shall be finally resolved by arbitration with the right of appeal hereby agreed to be excluded and waived by the parties. It further says this arbitration shall be conducted under the provisions and in accordance with the rules of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators London mutually before a single arbitrator agreed by the parties.
