https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=468708 Section 12A of the Commercial Courts Act requires pre-institution mediation for commercial suits that do not genuinely seek urgent interim relief. Where a suit was filed with an application for interim protection, the court treated the urgency as real, not a device to bypass mediation. Mediation had already been undertaken at the parties' joint request before conversion into a commercial suit and had ended without settlement, so the statutory objective was substantially met. On that basis, the plaint was not liable to rejection for non-compliance with Section 12A, and the objection seeking a fresh round of mediation failed. en-us Wed, 08 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 19 May 2026 12:27:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=468708 Section 12A of the Commercial Courts Act requires pre-institution mediation for commercial suits that do not genuinely seek urgent interim relief.
