Honing the formula to achieve time and cost-efficient arbitrations: Is there a one size fits all solution? Increasingly, the discourse around growth of arbitration is focused on the time and cost associated with the proceedings. The panel will examine the critical pulse points to achieve efficiency in arbitration proceedings in India and discuss whether institutional arbitration poses a solution to this problem. The panel will then highlight tools and practical tips employed by companies, legal representatives, and arbitrators to control time and cost in arbitrations including the lessons learnt in drafting an arbitration agreement, followed by a discussion on the role of each stakeholder in the dispute resolution process to identify the pitfalls and strengths. |

Actual Damage or Guesstimates? Proving damages in domestic and international arbitrations Much has been said about the requirement of proving damages under the Indian Contract Act 1872. In this session, the panel will first examine the landmark decisions on the manner of proving damages (liquidated and general) and disgorgement of profits. This will be followed by a discussion on guesstimates and sampling as a means to prove damages and whether claims modelled on guesstimates and sampling stand the test of courts and arbitral tribunals. The panel will also share best practices and practical tips for establishing a sound claim for damages. |
