#Enforcement of Award

The Delhi High Court holds that arbitration costs formally submitted by a party and left unchallenged by the opposing side become enforceable even if not separately quantified in the award. This clarifies that silence in arbitration proceedings constitutes waiver, streamlining enforcement and reducing litigation risk for award holders.

The Supreme Court ruled that an indemnity clause in a consent award becomes enforceable immediately upon crystallisation of liability, without awaiting final judicial confirmation. This decision clarifies that parties cannot delay indemnity payments under arbitration awards, impacting commercial dispute resolutions involving indemnity contracts.
