Arbitration at TAG is a set of private and confidential proceedings presided over by an arbitrator(s) from our list of highly experienced arbitrators. They can be ex-judge(s) / specialist(s) who have had experiences in matters similar to the dispute. These can be appointed to preside over the matter with the consent of all parties involved and their decision will be final and binding.
Our arbitrators (Ex-Judges & Industry area experts) function within the parameters of the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, to resolve disputes based on facts & evidence with a binding award in a private setting.
Our arbitrator(s) play role of both a facilitator as well as a decision maker, while employing diverse variety of skills, tools, relevant legal knowledge and industry-specific understanding.
Analogous to court proceedings, in this privately held formal proceeding, statement of claim and responses can be filed, discovery and inspection can be made, evidences can be exchanged and oral statements can be made along with other legal procedures as given under the arbitration rules.
Having control over the complete process, the arbitrator(s) while taking all the submissions into consideration, will make a decision. A written decision is made in the form of an arbitration award which will additionally contain the summary of the proceedings and reasons behind the specific award.
Civil disputes and commercial disputes involving business disputes, consumer transactions, boundary disputes and tortious claims are arbitrable and fall under the jurisdiction of the arbitration.
