法院首先结合安大略省上诉法院判例,厘清《示范法》第36条“无法陈述案情”背后的程序公平和自然正义的基本原则,随后援引了美国法院在Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone International Trade Service Co., Ltd. V. Tiancheng International Inc.案、Guang Dong Light Headgear Factory Co.,Ltd. V. ACI intern Inc.案和Nanoelectro Research and Production Co. V.Alphysica Inc.案中确认的判例规则,即满足“适当通知”要求的标准:只要送达方式经合理预判足以使当事人知悉仲裁进程、预留答辩时限,即满足“适当通知”要求(The Proper notice requirement will be satisfied where the form of notice given was reasonably calculated to inform the party of the arbitral proceedings and give them an opportunity to respond.),适当通知并不等于实际通知。
