Section 11 Arbitration Act | Disputes from Non-Performance Trigger Arbitration Even Without Contract Termination: MP HC
Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that arbitration can be invoked under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, if disputes arise from contractual non-performance or third-party actions, even without formal contract termination. The ruling clarifies that the existence of a dispute, not contract termination, is the threshold for arbitration reference, impacting commercial contracts and arbitrator appointments.
