https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198257 A contractual time limit for making an arbitral award binds the parties and may render an arbitrator de jure unable to continue under Section 14 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 when it expires, despite the absence of an express statutory time limit. However, the right to object is waivable under Section 4. Knowing participation after expiry, including substantive applications and hearings without timely protest, constitutes conscious abandonment of the right to insist on termination. The arbitral proceedings may therefore continue where the contractual time-limit objection has been waived. en-us Fri, 17 Sep 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 11:09:21 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198257 A contractual time limit for making an arbitral award binds the parties and may render an arbitrator de jure unable to continue under Section 14 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 when it expires, despite the absence of an express statutory time limit.
