Arbitration and Conciliation Act Section 42B — Protection of action taken in good faith

CHAPTER X — Miscellaneous

Civil

Summary

No suit or other legal proceedings can be brought against an arbitrator for anything done, or intended to be done, in good faith under this Act or its rules or regulations. This means the arbitrator is protected from legal action when acting honestly and within the scope of the law, even if the outcome is not what a party wanted. The protection covers both actions already taken and actions planned, as long as they are done in good faith.

Official Text

No suit or other legal proceedings shall lie against the arbitrator for anything which is in good faith done or intended to be done under this Act or the rules or regulations made thereunder.]
