Arbitrator's Decision To Defer Compliance With Essential Pre-Condition In Agreement Amounted To Rewriting Contract, Vitiated It: Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court has ruled that an "arbitrator's decision to defer compliance" with a requirement to "establish a project office in India" "amounts to rewriting the contract," which "vitiates the contract." The court's decision, which is a significant victory for the government, was made on the grounds that the person's claim was not supported by evidence. The ruling clarifies that a person cannot file a claim that is not for a valid reason.
