Delhi High Court has unveiled the Draft Arbitration Rules, 2023, inviting public feedback until 05-07-2025. The draft aims at streamlining arbitration procedures and enhancing institutional efficiency, laying down comprehensive filing norms, encouraging institutional arbitration, and more.
It is a settled position in law that when the arbitration agreement is silent on the aspect of ‘seat’, ‘venue’ or ‘place’ of arbitration, the determining factor will be where the cause of action arises as well as where the defendant/respondent actually or voluntarily resides or carries on their business.
