Because the insurer repudiated the claim and denied liability under the policy, the clause expressly barred reference to arbitration. The repudiation was not a mere dispute over quantification but a refusal of the claim altogether, so the insured's remedy lay in a civil suit. The view that the clause was internally inconsistent was rejected, and the appointment of an arbitrator was held unjustified. The order appointing the arbitrator was set aside. en-us Wed, 02 May 2018 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 03 Oct 2022 15:09:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=359763 An insurance policy arbitration clause was construed strictly and held to permit arbitration only where liability was admitted and the dispute concerned quantum.
