	Arbitration notices
		Scrabster argued that there had to be absolute and strict compliance with the provisions of the Scottish Arbitration Code if the arbitration notice was to be valid.
		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.
