		Scrabster had been unable to suggest what prejudice it had suffered because of the absence of the precise requirements of the arbitration Code.
		Scrabster's request for a declaration that the arbitration notice was invalid was refused and the arbitration would be allowed to proceed in accordance with the notice submitted by Mowlem.
