In statutory arbitration, consent to arbitrate isn’t based on a direct agreement between parties; instead, it’s established by law. Here’s two ways to “perfect” consent in statutory arbitration (drawing on the principles of Investor-State arbitration): Legislative mandate - The statute itself acts as a substitute for a traditional arbitration agreement, mandating arbitration for specific disputes without requiring individual consent. Implied consent - Parties operating under a statute implicitly accept all its terms, including arbitration, just by engaging in activities governed by that statute. #StatutoryArbitration #DisputeResolution #ConsentInLaw #ArbitrationLaw #LegalFramework #LegislativeMandate #ImpliedConsent #LegalInsight #IndianLaw #ADR #InvestorStateDisputes #InvestorStateArbitration

Arbitration Alert! Did you know that if multiple interconnected agreements are part of a single commercial transaction, an arbitration clause in ONE of the agreements can be used to refer disputes to arbitration? The courts have held that: - Interconnected agreements are considered a single commercial transaction. - An arbitration clause in one agreement can govern disputes arising from ALL interconnected agreements. This means that even if only one agreement has an arbitration clause, it can still be used to refer disputes to arbitration for all interconnected agreements! #Arbitration #CommercialTransactions #InterconnectedAgreements #ArbitrationClause #DisputeResolution #BusinessLaw #ContractLaw #LawFirm #ArbitrationLawyer

The Overlooked Game-Changer: Understanding the Importance of Arbitration Clause in Contracts When signing contract, whether it's a ₹100 crore business deal, a small transaction, or even a simple lease, it's important to check for one key element: the arbitration clause. Surprisingly, most people often don't realise their contracts include an arbitration clause until a dispute arises. This oversight can be an unexpected surprise later on. An arbitration clause means you can't take the dispute to court at the first instance ; arbitration is your only option. While arbitration has its advantages, you need to at least understand what you're giving up. Additionally, the clause will specify the location of the arbitration, potentially adding travel costs if the arbitration is far from your base. Lastly, once an arbitral award is passed, your ability to challenge it in court is limited as per section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Always read your contracts thoroughly and be aware of these critical clauses to avoid unexpected complications down the road. #BusinessLaw #CorporateContracts #ArbitrationClause #LegalAdvice #ContractManagement #CorporateCompliance #LegalInsights #StartupLaw #BusinessAgreements #LegalTips #CorporateLawyer #StartupLawyer
