Defective Section 21 Notice Does Not Oust Arbitral Tribunal's Jurisdiction | Where Arbitration Agreement Exists : Delhi HC
The Delhi High Court ruled that a flawed Section 21 notice under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 does not strip an arbitral tribunal of its jurisdiction when a valid arbitration agreement is in place. The court proceeded to appoint a sole arbitrator, clarifying that procedural defects in notice service cannot override the parties’ arbitration agreement.
