Individual Members Of Society Can't Be Considered Signatories To The Arbitration Agreement: Bombay High Court

In a recent judgment, the Bombay High Court ruled that individual members of a society can be considered signatories to an arbitration agreement. This decision arose from a dispute involving a society where individual members had signed an agreement on behalf of the society. The Court emphasized that the intent of the members to be bound by the arbitration clause was clear, and thus, the agreement was valid. This ruling highlights the importance of clarity in signatory roles and underscores that individual signatories, in their capacity, can bind the entity to arbitration agreements.
