Arbitration and Conciliation Act Section 59 — Appealable orders

CHAPTER II

Civil

Summary

Sub-section (1) states that an appeal can be filed against an order that refuses to do one of two things: first, to refer the parties to arbitration under section 54, and second, to enforce a foreign award under section 57. This appeal must be made to the court that is legally authorised to hear appeals from such an order.

Under clause (a) of sub-section (1), an appeal lies from an order that refuses to refer the parties to arbitration under section 54.

Under clause (b) of sub-section (1), an appeal lies from an order that refuses to enforce a foreign award under section 57.

Sub-section (2) provides that no second appeal can be made from an order passed in an appeal under this section. However, this does not affect or take away any right to appeal to the Supreme Court.
