💨 Abstract

The Indian Supreme Court has criticized the poor drafting of arbitration clauses in commercial agreements, stating that they often complicate and prolong dispute resolution. A bench led by Justices Surya Kant and N. Kotiswar Singh urged courts to reject ambiguously worded clauses and cautioned legal professionals against wasting judicial time. The court highlighted the need for clear and precise arbitration clauses to maintain the integrity of the process, suggesting potential personal liability for unscrupulous practices.
