(iii) the award deals with a dispute not contemplated by or not
falling within the terms of the submission to arbitration, or
it contains decisions on matters beyond the scope of the
submission to arbitration, provided that, if the decisions on
matters submitted to arbitration can be separated from
those not so submitted, that part of the award which
contains decisions on matters submitted to arbitration may
be recognised and enforced; or
(iv) the composition of the arbitral tribunal or the arbitral
procedure was not in accordance with the agreement of the
parties or, failing such agreement, was not in accordance
with the law of the State or Territory where the arbitration
took place; or
(v) the award has not yet become binding on the parties or has
been set aside or suspended by a court of the State or
Territory in which, or under the law of which, that award
was made; or
(b) if the court finds that—
(i) the subject-matter of the dispute is not capable of
settlement by arbitration under the law of the Territory; or
(ii) the recognition or enforcement of the award would be
contrary to the public policy of the Territory.
(2) If an application for setting aside or suspension of an award has been
made to a court referred to in subsection (1) (a) (v), the court may, if
it considers it proper, adjourn its decision and may also, on the
application of the party claiming recognition or enforcement of the
award, order the party to provide appropriate security.
