Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant company appealed against an arbitral award ordering payment of terminal benefits to two former employees. The respondents had signed agreements accepting full and final payments for various allowances and benefits, but later claimed additional terminal benefits through arbitration. The arbitrator proceeded to award in their favor without oral hearing and allegedly without appellant's submissions.
