27 Court assistance in taking evidence (Model Law Art 27)
(1) The arbitral tribunal or a party with the approval of the arbitral
tribunal may request from the Court assistance in taking evidence.
(2) The Court may execute the request within its competence and
subject to and in accordance with rules of court.
Note for section 27
This section is substantially the same as Art 27 of the Model Law but the
reference to rules of court has been amended for consistency with sections 27A
and 27B and a request for assistance may only be made to the Court, not any
competent court.
