Supreme Court Asks Law Commission to Review Arbitration Award Enforcement Delays
The Supreme Court has directed the Law Commission of India to review the enforcement framework for arbitral awards, highlighting delays that undermine arbitration's effectiveness. The court noted a 24-year delay in executing a 2002 award favoring Royal Construction Company against National Projects Construction Corporation Ltd. It emphasized that arbitration's value depends not only on timely awards but also on prompt enforcement, urging legislative and procedural reforms to prevent prolonged litigation post-award.
