#Section 36 ACA

The Calcutta High Court has ruled that executing courts lack authority to alter the interest period or amount specified in a final arbitral award, even if the debtor claims a bona fide dispute. This upholds the sanctity of arbitral awards under Section 36 ACA and prevents collateral challenges during enforcement, directly impacting award holders seeking precise recovery and debtors attempting to renegotiate terms post-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.
