Arbitration amendment act, 2021

 Arbitration Amendment Act, 2021 

The lawmakers' desire in the twenty-first century to make India an arbitration-friendly regime is evident in the flurry of amendments and ordinances promulgated in the last several years, as noted at the outset. These quick revisions show a good attitude on the part of lawmakers, who have been listening to field experts with an open mind.

However, the Government's recent piecemeal revisions to the Arbitration Act show that it lacks the legislative acumen to uphold its own rules. Inclusion of section 43J in the 2019 Amendment Act and major change to it two years later in the 2021 Amendment Act is an example. Similarly, the current 2021 Amendment to Section 36 involving automatic stay and fundamentally modifying it.

Both changes to the 2021 Amendment Act employ wide and confusing language. The section 36 amendment employs phrases like fraud and corruption without providing a comprehensive list or explanation of what constitutes fraud and corrupt practises. As a result, parties that seek to postpone the enforcement of an award can take advantage of this clause, forcing matters back into the traditional litigation system.

It's also unclear how high the courts would set the bar for prima facie evidence in fraud and corruption cases. Furthermore, it is unclear whether contracts involving fraud or corruption are a matter of fact that should be disputed by the parties in the arbitral processes.

As previously noted, the term "regulated" is ambiguous in an amendment to section 43J. It is only to be hoped that those concerned in deciding the rule do not succumb to the limits of the Eighth Schedule and adopt a more comprehensive approach to eligibility.

Section 43J's change has the ability to attract foreign arbitrators, which is a tiny step toward India's Pro Arbitration programme. The modification on automatic stays of awards, on the other hand, is a two-edged blade that has the ability to both prolong issues and create barriers to enforcing arbitral judgements.t and should be contested by the parties in the arbitral procedures.

To address this, legislators should use precise drafting language and encourage industry experts to participate in consultation sessions. Rather than making incremental changes to the same concerns, policymakers should consider the larger picture of the major roadblocks to India's becoming an arbitration hub.

This involves correcting some ambiguities exploited by losing parties in award challenges, which has resulted in a lack of award finality. Allowing an arbitral tribunal to employ various ADR procedures throughout the arbitral processes to foster conflict settlement may be more successful, although it is rarely used in India.

Concept of constitutionalism

  Concept of constitutionalism Who Started Constitutionalism? John Locke - The English Bill of Rights is a foundational constitutional document that helped inspire the American Bill of Rights. Political theorist  John Locke  played a huge role in cementing the philosophy of constitutionalism.  Constitution is a written law which describes the structure of Government, the rules according to which the Govt. must work and the boundaries within which the Govt. must work. Constitutionalism   can be defined as the doctrine that governs the legitimacy of government action, and it implies something far more important than the idea of legality that requires official conduct to be in accordance with pre-fixed legal rules.

Effects of Non-Registration

 Effects of Non-Registration The Companies Act, 2013 evidently highlights that the main essential for any organization to turn into a company is to get itself registered. A company cannot come into existence until it gets registered. But no such obligation has been imposed for firms by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. If a firm is not registered it does not cease to be called as a firm, it still exists in the eyes law. Certainly, such a big advantage is not absolute but is subjected to a lot of limitations which we will study further. Non-registration of a firm simply means that the business skips the formalities of incorporation and ceases to exist in the eyes of the law. section 58 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 deals with the procedure of incorporation. Likewise, the meaning of non-registration is the exact opposite of registration, meaning when a firm does not go through the procedure of incorporation or start carrying on activities without getting registered. Effects of ...
