The ground of Patent illegality gives way to setting aside an Arbitral Award with a very minimal scope of intervention.

Patent illegality requires a distinct transgression of law, the clear lack of which thereof makes the petition simply a pointless effort of objection towards an Award made by a competent Arbitral Tribunal.
