CommercialLaw
Delhi High Court| Jurisdiction under S. 11 Arbitration Act must be determined by the CPC if the parties haven’t agreed on the arbitration seat or venue.
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.
