https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=356079 Section 7(5) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 requires a clear contractual reference showing an intention to make an external arbitration clause part of the subcontract; a mere reference to the principal contract or to terms on work, quality, items, or termination is insufficient. The arbitration clause in the principal contract was not incorporated because the subcontract did not show conscious acceptance of that dispute resolution term, contained no independent arbitration clause, and no separate arbitration agreement existed between the parties. As a result, appointment of an arbitrator was not maintainable. en-us Fri, 23 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 24 Feb 2018 08:21:49 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=356079 Section 7(5) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 requires a clear contractual reference showing an intention to make an external arbitration clause part of the subcontract; a mere reference to the principal contract or to terms on work, quality, items, or termination is insufficient.
