Definition :

Error apparent on the face of the record, in the case of a reasoned award, the Court can interfere if the award is based upon a proposition of law which is unsound in law. The erroneous proposition of law must be established to have vitiated the decision. The error of law must appear from the award itself or from any document or note incorporated in it or appended to it. It is not permissible to travel beyond and consider material not incorporated in or appended to the award, Trustees of the Part of Madras v. Engg. Constructions Corp. Ltd.
