Section 13 Of Commercial Courts Act Doesn't Provide Any Independent Right To Appeal In Arbitration Matters: Delhi High Court Reiterates

The Delhi High Court reiterated that appeals in arbitration matters are governed exclusively by Sections 37 or 50 of the OAC Act, emphasizing that Section 13 of the Commercial Courts Act does not provide an independent right to appeal. The case concerned a challenge to an arbitral award, where the appellant sought an appeal under Section 13 of the Commercial Courts Act. The court ruled that arbitration-related appeals must follow the specific provisions under Sections 37 or 50 of the OAC Act, and that the Commercial Courts Act does not confer a standalone right to appeal.
