Non-Signatories Bound By Arbitration Agreement If Their Actions Align With Those Of Signatories: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court ruled that non-signatories to an arbitration agreement can still be bound by it if they actively participate in the arbitration process. This decision expands the scope of arbitration, allowing parties indirectly involved in the contract but significantly engaged in the proceedings to be held accountable. The ruling encourages a pragmatic approach to dispute resolution, ensuring that technicalities do not hinder justice.
