The set of barristers was founded in 1974 by head of chambers, Abdool Razack Peeroo SC. It is recognised as one of the leading arbitration practices in the region. Its offices are located in the capital, adjacent to the Supreme Court of Mauritius and comprises of lawyers specialised in domestic as well as international law. It has been described by Legal 500 (in 2016 and 2017 respectively) as follows:
“Led by the highly rated Razack Peeroo, Chambers of A.R.M.A. Peeroo SC GOSK advises on contentious and non-contentious work covering offshore, energy, infrastructure, construction, banking, finance, real estate and insurance. The ‘first-rate’ Jamsheed Peeroo is acting for Hewlett-Packard in a transactional dispute.” “Chambers of A.R.M.A. Peeroo SC GOSK bolstered its dispute resolution capability with the hire of former Supreme Court judge Shaheda Peeroo …. Head of chambers Razack Peeroo and arbitration head Jamsheed Peeroo are highly regarded.”
Shaheda Peeroo is well-known for her landmark judgments in the field of arbitration, including her judgment in Cruz City v Unitech Limited [Yearbook Com. Arb. 2014 (Vol 39) 447] and UBS v MCB [2016 SCJ 43], which was nominated by the Global Arbitration Review (GAR) for an award as “the most important published decision of 2014 for jurisprudential or other reasons”. As part of chambers, she sits exclusively as arbitrator. She is also a member of the African Union Administrative Tribunal and has recently been appointed to the MARC (MCCI Arbitration Centre) Court.
According to Chambers and Partners Global (2015), Jamsheed Peeroo is “recognised for his international arbitration expertise”. He practices mostly as arbitration counsel but also accepts arbitrator appointments.

Murmansk State Steamship Line vs Kano Oil Millers Ltd. - (1974) LPELR-1927(SC)_DUMMY_SAMPLE
iarb
Algeria
Plaintiff (Fanz) sued Defendant (KSUDB), in a Kano high court, claiming against it N6, 922,742.00 being damages for a breach of an agreement. Both parties agreed to take case to an arbitrator. Arbitrator made an award in favor of the plaintiff. Defendant made an application to set aside the award. Application rejected. Whether his decision was right or wrong is not for this court to adjudication upon since the high court is not a court of Appeal over arbitration proceedings. An award cannot set aside in an action commenced by a writ, a fortiori; it cannot be set aside on a counter claim. So the trial Judge took the Plaintiff’s application to enforce the arbitrator’s award. The defendant appealed. Appeal dismissed because no grounds of appeal in support of the appeal against the order refusing to set aside the award. The defendant has appealed to the Supreme Court against this judgment.
The proper thing counsel should have done was to have argued the appeal by reference to the issues identified and no longer by reference the grounds which are supposed to have been subsumed under one or other of the issues arising for determination. The decision of the Kano State high court staying proceedings pending the decision of the arbitration is valid rightly or wrongly. No protest of any kind as to the authority of the arbitrator to act in the matter submitted to him. So Defendant couldn’t challenge authority of the arbitrator to take the reference. The Court of Appeal was in error in holding that there were no grounds of appeal before it against the order of the trial court refusing to set aside the arbitrator’s award. An undue delay in bringing an application under section 12(2) of the law to set aside an award can never militate against the application; it was the Appellant’s ground which has been up hold.
