casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Atwood Oceanics Pacific Ltd. sought appointment of a sole arbitrator to resolve a payment dispute with Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Ltd. arising from an oil drilling services contract dated September 3, 2005. After the respondent failed to pay invoices from August 2009 onwards and refused to refer the matter to arbitration despite legal notices, the petitioner's initial petition before Gujarat High Court was dismissed as not maintainable for involving international commercial arbitration. The Supreme Court, on September 19, 2012, appointed Justice G.T. Nanavati (former Supreme Court Judge) as sole arbitrator with liberty to fix his own remuneration and terms, disposing of the petition accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
