Sending Scanned Copy Of A Signed Arbitral Award Through Email Constitutes A Valid Delivery Under Section 31(5) Of The A&C Act: Delhi High Court
Live LawThe Delhi High Court has held that an email sent by the arbitral tribunal to the parties wherein the scanned copy of the signed award is attached constitutes a valid delivery of the award under Section 31 of the A&C Act. The Court observed that although the first correction to the award was made on 07.03.2018 but it was delivered to the petitioner only on 22.05.2018, therefore, the period of limitation would commence from 22.05.2018 only. The Court rejected the argument of the petitioner that since the original copy of the Addendum to Award was collected by it only on 01.06.2018, the period of limitation would commence from the said date. When service by email is an accepted mode of service, then sending scanned signed copy of the award/order of the Arbitral Tribunal to the parties would be a valid delivery as envisaged under Section 31 of the Arbitration Act.” Next, the Court examined the issue that whether the period of limitation would commence from the date of the order wherein the tribunal had declared itself functus officio.
