https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198229 The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 distinguishes between termination of an arbitrator's mandate and extinction of the underlying arbitration agreement. Sections 14 and 15 address failure, impossibility, death, termination, and substitution of an arbitrator, and do not by themselves nullify the agreement to arbitrate. Where a sole arbitrator dies, the Act contemplates reconstitution of the tribunal and appointment of a substitute under the original appointment mechanism, including the agreement or institutional rules governing appointment. The contrary view that the arbitration clause is wiped out on the named arbitrator's death is rejected; the clause survives and the vacancy may be filled under Section 11. en-us Tue, 15 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 17:05:58 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198229 The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 distinguishes between termination of an arbitrator's mandate and extinction of the underlying arbitration agreement.
