The Limitation Law (1996 Revision) shall apply to arbitration proceedings as it applies to proceedings before any court and a reference in that Law to the commencement of an action shall be construed as a reference to the commencement of arbitration proceedings.
The court may order that in computing the time prescribed by the Limitation Law (1996 Revision) for the commencement of proceedings, including arbitration proceedings, in respect of a dispute that was the subject-matter of —
an award that the court orders to be set aside or declares to be of no effect; or
the affected part of an award that the court orders to be set aside in part or declares to be in part of no effect,
the period between the commencement of the arbitration and the date of the order referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) shall be excluded.
In determining for the purposes of the Limitation Law (1996 Revision) when a cause of action accrued, any provision that an award is a condition precedent to the bringing of legal proceedings in respect of a matter to which an arbitration agreement applies shall be disregarded.
