If NOK succeeds in stalling arbitration until all requested papers are received including papers held confidential by past arbitration panels and courts, it would be a blow to the whole concept of arbitration. One of the main purposes of arbitration is to provide a timely resolution of disputes. The NOK motion, if allowed by the arbitration panel, could postpone arbitration for years as it works its way through the courts with appeals. NOK, in order to have their motion upheld, would have to show serious evidence of misdoing rather than just a suspicion. Otherwise this case could be used as a precedent which could damage the practice of arbitration.
