The Brewing Controversy: Arbitral Tribunal cannot implead Non-Signatories - Bar & Bench - Indian Legal News

The Delhi High Court has ruled that an Arbitral Tribunal does not have the power to include non-signatory third parties in ad-hoc arbitration proceedings. This decision comes as the Supreme Court of India is examining the applicability of the Group of Companies doctrine in arbitration. The case in question involved a long-standing business dispute and allegations of oppression and mismanagement. The court clarified that the powers of an Arbitral Tribunal are limited to the contractual terms and the applicable law, and do not include inherent powers. The court also determined that impleadment does not qualify as an interim measure under the Arbitration Act.
