A direct appeal is available only where an arbitral tribunal accepts a plea that it lacks jurisdiction or is exceeding its authority and declines to proceed on that basis. Where the tribunal examines counterclaims and finds that the underlying disputes were compromised through meeting minutes, or that a claim is time-barred, the challenge does not fall within the direct appellate route.
