When An Arbitrator’s Silence Vitiates An Award: The Expanding Duty Of Disclosure Under Section 12 Of The Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996
An Arbitrator’s authority to decide a dispute rests on something more fundamental than the arbitration agreement that appoints them; it rests on the parties’ confidence in the arbitrator’s independence, impartiality and transparency.
