Non-signatory to agreement can be subjected to arbitration without prior consent only in exceptional cases: Delhi High Court
The Court dimissed a plea seeking the appointment of an arbitral tribunal while opining that the petitioner could not invoke arbitration since they are not a party to the agreement.
The Delhi High Court on Monday held that a non-signatory or third party to an agreement can be subjected to arbitration without their prior consent, only in exceptional cases [A ES Engineers Pvt Ltd v. Ugro Capital Limited].
