Supreme Court on Commercial Arbitration (Compendium of Cases 1988-2022) (3 Volume Set)

......................................................................................................................................
Description
Arbitration in India was statutorily recognized with the enactment of the Indian Arbitration Act, 1899 which was confined to the three presidency towns namely Madras, Bombay and Calcutta. Subsequently it was further codified in Section 89 and Schedule II of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, where  Provisions of Arbitration was further extended to different regions of British India. The Act of 1899 together with the provisions of the CPC, 1908 were found to be less expedient and more technical and thus, the Arbitration Act, 1940 came into existence and repealed the Act of 1899 along with the relevant provisions of the CPC, 1908. Following the economic liberalization in the year 1991, further steps were taken to attract foreign investments which required a comfortable business environment and ease of doing business. To this end, the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 came into force and repealed the Act of 1940.The Act of 1996 was based on UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration, 1985 and covered both domestic and international  arbitration. The main reason for introducing the Act of 1996 was to curb delays in arbitration. To keep pace with the rapid pace of development, evolving  dynamics of doing business and to ensure speedy resolution of the disputes, the Act of 1996 was amended by the Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment)  Act, 2015. Though the Amendments of 2015 addressed a large number of issues in the arbitral process, lack of institutional arbitration culture in the country  still remained as an impediment to make Arbitration the most preferred mode of dispute resolution in India. Thereafter, on 13th January, 2017 a High-Level  Committee headed by Justice B.N. Srikrishna, Retired Judge, Supreme Court of India, was constituted to Review the Institutionalisation of Arbitration  Mechanism in India. Following the suggestions made by the Committee in its report submitted on 9th August, 2019, the Act of 1996 was further amended by  the Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Act, 2019 and the Arbitration Council of India (ACI) was introduced whose main task was to promote and  encourage ADR in the Country, grade the arbitral institutions and arbitrators in the country, and help in boosting institutional arbitration in India.
