The Second session
deals with the issue surrounding reference
of Non-Signatory Parties to Arbitration. Chloro Controls applied the ‘group of companies’ doctrine’ to
provide jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal over a non-signatory. The recent
246th Law Commission Report has suggested expanding the definition of
‘party’ to include ‘persons claiming through or under such party’. The session
seeks to engage in a discussion about the role of prominent theories dictating jurisdiction
of arbitral tribunals over a non-signatory (viz. group of companies, estoppels
etc.) and their grounding in the Indian Law. The second session will have 2
speakers: Mr. Debesh Panda is a
practicing lawyer who focuses on arbitration related matters before the Delhi
High Court and the Supreme Court & Mr
Ashutosh Ray who serves as the Law Assistant to Justice A.M. Ahmadi (Former
CJI).
