O R D E R
The petitioners in this arbitration request had
entered into a contract for allotment of
apartment in a multi-storied apartment complex,
to be constructed by the opposite party. Disputes
have arisen between them. There is an arbitration
agreement between the parties. It forms part of
the contract document. The place of arbitration
is fixed as Ernakulam. The arbitration has to be
a sole arbitrator. The parties have not agreed on
the identity of the arbitrator. The opposite
party does not contest the existence of the
arbitration agreement or that the disputes have
arisen. Therefore, the parties have to go for
arbitration. In taking the measure on failure of
the parties to go for arbitration, the opposite
party has, through learned counsel, submitted
AR.51/08 -: 2 :-
that the nomination of a retired District Judge,
as made by the petitioners, is not acceptable to
them.
Having regard to the type of the contract, the
amounts involved and the nature of disputes, I
deem it appropriate to take the measure appointing
Adv.Sri.P.R.Shaji possessing LL.M. in Arbitration,
Mediation and Negotiation from Hamline University,
USA, included in the panel of arbitrators
maintained by this Court under orders of the
Hon’ble the Chief Justice, as sole arbitrator. It
is hereby so done and the arbitration request is
ordered accordingly.
THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN,
JUDGE.
