Section 7(4)(c) Arbitration Act | Conduct of Parties in Pleadings Can Imply Arbitration Agreement : MP HC
Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that an arbitration agreement can be inferred under Section 7(4)(c) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act if parties exchange pleadings alleging its existence without denial. This holding lowers the threshold for establishing arbitration agreements, impacting contract disputes where explicit agreements are absent but conduct suggests mutual intent.
