(2)An objection must be made—

(a)before, or as soon as is reasonably practicable after, the matter to which the objection relates is first raised in the arbitration, or

but, in any case, an objection may not be made after the tribunal makes its last award.

(3)If the tribunal upholds an objection it must—

(b)set aside any provisional or part award already made in so far as the award relates to such a matter.

(4)The tribunal may—
