#Institutional Arbitration

Bombay High Court holds that a Section 21 notice under the Arbitration Act remains valid even if it deviates from the arbitration agreement's procedural requirements, prioritizing substance over form. The ruling reinforces party autonomy in arbitration, ensuring disputes proceed to adjudication despite minor procedural lapses.

Madras High Court upholds validity of arbitration award where MCCI, a historic institution, appointed the arbitrator per parties' agreement, clarifying unilateral appointment jurisprudence.
