Y.16.2. make orders against a party which fails to comply with a peremptory order;
Y.16.3. dismiss a claim for want of prosecution in the event of inordinate or

risk that it will not be possible to have a fair resolution of the issues or will
cause serious prejudice to the other party;
Y.16.4. debar that party from further participation and proceed with the arbitration
and make an award but only after giving that party written notice of its
intention to do so.

additional powers:
Y.20.1. to order the cancellation of the registration of the Manager’s contract
of employment;
Y.20.2. to order that the deposit be forfeited by or returned to the party paying it;
