B.that the tribunal has manifestly exceeded its powers

In the seven decisions, the parties seeking annulment had argued that the tribunals had made a wide
range of annullable errors. These errors included errors arising from the tribunals‘ acceptance of
jurisdiction, their findings regarding applicable law and application of that law, their admission and
evaluation of evidence, their handing of discovery requests, calculations of damages, and matters
relating to arbitrator independence and impartiality.

The tribunal manifestly exceeded its powers
In each of the seven decisions, the applicants argued that the tribunal in question had manifestly
exceeded its powers. The excesses alleged involved diverse aspects of the proceedings, including the
tribunals‘ assumption of jurisdiction, admission and evaluation of evidence, legal findings, and
handling of procedural matters. In the three successful annulment applications—Argentina‘s
successful applications in Sempra and Enron, and the investor‘s successful application in Helnan—the
committees relied on this ground (at least in part) to annul the awards.
Drawing from previous annulment decisions, the seven decisions set forth the same general
principles regarding application of Article 52(1)(b). These principles are that a manifest excess of
powers will be found where the tribunal lacked jurisdiction or failed to decide a question over which
it had jurisdiction, where it disregarded the applicable law, or where it based the award on a law
other than the applicable law. The decisions also repeated the refrain that although a failure to apply
the applicable law can support annulment, an erroneous interpretation of that law will not. Further,
the decisions noted that to be ?manifest,? the tribunals‘ errors had to be evident or apparent on the
face of the award without requiring the committee to engage in in-depth reconsideration of the
evidence or law before the tribunal.
