Bombay HC Upholds Pre-2015 Unilateral Arbitrator Appointments If Allowed Under Arbitration Clause
The Bombay High Court ruled that arbitrators appointed unilaterally before October 23, 2015, will not automatically be invalid if the arbitration agreement allowed such appointments. Justice Jitendra Jain held that old appointments must be examined based on contract terms. The ruling came while hearing execution proceedings involving SE Investments Ltd, now Paisalo Digital Ltd.
