Arbitration Clause In Original Lease Deed Incorporated Into Deed Of Assignment When Deeds Are Interconnected And Consistent: Calcutta High Court

The Calcutta High Court addressed the issue of whether an arbitration clause from an original lease deed is incorporated into a deed of assignment when the deeds are interconnected. The court ruled that when deeds are interconnected and consistent, the arbitration clause from the original lease deed continues to be applicable in the deed of assignment. This decision reinforces the principle that contractual clauses, particularly those related to dispute resolution, carry over into subsequent related agreements unless explicitly stated otherwise. The ruling emphasizes the importance of maintaining consistency across interconnected legal documents, ensuring that dispute resolution mechanisms agreed upon initially are preserved throughout the contractual relationship.
