Dear experts,
A finance company for a Trade loan transaction put an arbitration in a place far from the branch of 40 kms and the arbitrator passed "AWARD" but the copy of the "AWARD" not issued to the party and then the company filed EP in civil court and that EP dismissed for Default for non appearence of that company's advocate and then after 6 months time again the company put an arbitration for the same issue about 100 kms from the branch and now the arbitrator send a notice for appearence.now my question is whether an arbitration been conducted for the same issue twice.whether it attracts"resjudicata".what the party should now do to contend the arbitration issue.whether to attend by person or can be left exparte.
