Implied Consent to Arbitration | Payment Against Tax Invoices with Arbitration Clause Binds Parties Under Section 11, Arbitration Act : Bombay HC
Bombay High Court rules that parties accepting tax invoices containing arbitration clauses and making payments without objection constitute implied consent to arbitrate, even if purchase orders are silent. The judgment reinforces the Supreme Court’s Concrete Additives precedent, impacting commercial contracts where arbitration clauses are introduced post-agreement.
