In India, arbitration is governed by the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, of 1996. The Act provides for the enforcement of arbitration agreements, as well as the conduct of arbitration proceedings in India. Under the Act, arbitration can be either domestic (where the parties to the arbitration are based in India) or international (where at least one of the parties is based outside of India).
The Act provides for the appointment of a sole arbitrator or a panel of arbitrators and sets out the procedures for the conduct of the arbitration proceedings. It also provides for the enforcement of arbitration awards, both within India and internationally.
In addition to the Act, there are also various institutions in India that provide arbitration services, such as the Indian Council of Arbitration and the International Centre for Alternative Dispute Resolution. These institutions have their own rules and procedures for the conduct of arbitration proceedings.
The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (the “Act”) is the primary legislation in India that regulates arbitration. The Act applies to both domestic arbitration (where the parties are based in India) and international arbitration (where at least one of the parties is based outside of India).
The Act provides for the enforcement of arbitration agreements, which are agreements by the parties to resolve their disputes through arbitration rather than through the courts. The Act also sets out the procedures for the conduct of the arbitration proceedings, including the appointment of the arbitrator or arbitrators, the place of arbitration, and the rules of procedure to be followed.
The Act also provides for the enforcement of arbitration awards, both within India and internationally. An arbitration award is the final decision of the arbitrator or arbitrators in the arbitration proceeding. Once an arbitration award is made, it is final and binding on the parties, and can be enforced in the same way as a court judgment.
