Civil litigation and arbitration lawyers in Mumbai

Courts and arbitration

Commercial disputes above the specified value are heard by the Commercial Courts or the Commercial Division of the Bombay High Court under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015. Before filing most commercial suits that do not seek urgent interim relief, the claimant must first attempt pre-institution mediation under section 12A of that Act.

Where a contract has an arbitration clause, disputes go to arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The courts can grant interim protection under section 9, appoint an arbitrator under section 11, and hear challenges to an award under section 34.
