About Our Service

What is an Agreement Appointing a Common Arbitrator?

An Agreement Appointing a Common Arbitrator is a legal document signed between two or more parties to mutually appoint a single arbitrator for resolving disputes. This agreement specifies the name of the arbitrator, the nature of disputes, and the terms under which arbitration will be conducted.

It helps avoid lengthy court proceedings by ensuring that both parties agree to settle disputes privately through an independent and impartial arbitrator. Once executed, this agreement becomes a binding understanding under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.

Who Can Enter into an Agreement Appointing a Common Arbitrator?

Any two or more parties involved in a business or contractual relationship can enter into this agreement. It is suitable for both individuals and organizations who wish to resolve disputes amicably without going to court.

Such agreements are commonly executed between:

  • Business partners or firms having a commercial dispute.

  • Companies and clients under contractual arrangements.

  • Landlords and tenants facing property-related conflicts.

  • Vendors, contractors, and service providers with performance issues.

  • Individuals or entities entering joint ventures or shared projects.

The only requirement is that all parties must willingly agree on the selection of the common arbitrator.

When is an Agreement Appointing a Common Arbitrator Needed?

An Agreement Appointing a Common Arbitrator is needed when a disagreement arises between two parties, and they wish to settle it outside of court through mutual discussion and arbitration.

It is especially useful:
