https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=106767 An arbitration clause in a charter party was held to apply to disputes under a bill of lading where the bill expressly incorporated the charter party terms, including the law and arbitration clause. The controlling question was the parties' intention as gathered from the bill of lading and its incorporation clause. The clause was not to be disregarded merely because "charter party" was not mechanically replaced with "bill of lading"; if the incorporated term is clear, consistent and workable, effect must be given to it to preserve the commercial bargain. The disputes under the bill of lading were therefore referable to arbitration. en-us Mon, 20 Aug 2001 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 25 Apr 2020 11:19:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=106767 An arbitration clause in a charter party was held to apply to disputes under a bill of lading where the bill expressly incorporated the charter party terms, including the law and arbitration clause.
