About the Seminar: International Commercial Arbitration: Issues & Challenges
Arbitration today is a well-accepted mode of settling commercial disputes both national and international. It is no exaggeration to say that there exists no single sector without using arbitration. It is in this milieu that commercial arbitration assumes a great significance in the 21st century as a method of settling disputes, mostly commercial disputes. International Commercial Arbitration is a means of resolving disputes arising under international commercial contracts. The main objective of international commercial arbitration are to provide an easy and accessible dispute resolution mechanism and to prevent them from the time-consuming court litigation procedure. Given the necessity for an effective dispute resolution system, international arbitration has evolved as the preferred method for settling cross- border economic disputes.
The recent developments in arbitration jurisprudence, as seen by recent court rulings in the last decade, clearly demonstrate the judiciary’s support in favour of arbitration, including declaring Indian arbitration law to be seat-centric, referring non-signatories to an arbitration agreement to settle disputes through arbitration, defining the scope of public policy in both domestic and foreign-seated arbitration, thus enabling India to adopt the finest international practises and delving deeply into the issue of arbitrability.
