Arbitration representation and section 45 of the Arbitration Act 1996 (Republic of India v CC/Devas)

Arbitration analysis: The Commercial Court directed that four preliminary issues be determined before considering India’s section 45 Arbitration Act 1996 (AA 1996) application, which sought to challenge a prior procedural ruling by the arbitral tribunal. India argued that the English-seated tribunal was obliged to apply only Mauritian law to resolve who could represent the claimant companies. The court allowed the directors/shareholders to intervene and ruled that resolving the preliminary issues—such as whether the section 45 application was properly brought or amounted to a collateral appeal, would avoid improper judicial encroachment on arbitral jurisdiction.
