“We were very pleased with the arbitration presided over by Mr. Kelly. He handled difficult witnesses very well while ensuring both that the process was fair and that the witnesses appreciated the limits of what was actually in dispute and within the jurisdiction of an arbitration under the agreement in question.
Mr. Kelly’s decision was well written, detailed and addressed the issues in dispute clearly. The losing party challenged our application for an order enforcing the judgement, which challenge was not successful in large part due to the quality of the written decision.We will use Mr. Kelly again without hesitation.”
