A clause may be incorporated by reference, but only if the contract construction shows a clear and unequivocal manifestation that the referenced arbitration terms were meant to bind the parties. A later copy or surrounding practice cannot override the signed original agreement, particularly where the omission appears deliberate or mistaken and there is no clear consent to arbitration. The result is that reference of the dispute to arbitration is untenable in the absence of an express or properly incorporated arbitration agreement. en-us Wed, 24 Mar 1993 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 09:11:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=160565 A valid arbitration agreement cannot be inferred where the signed original contract contains no arbitration clause and the parties' intention to arbitrate is not clear and specific.
