2 2 1. Legal Reforms

3 Legal Reforms 3 1. Commercial Courts, Commercial Division and Commercial Appellate Division of High Courts Act, Commercial Divisions and Commercial Appellate Divisions have been constituted at the Delhi and Bombay High Court in terms of the Act Exclusive jurisdiction for all commercial disputes in which the value of the subject matter is INR 10 million or more. The Act has introduced following changes to the CPC for the purposes of disposing off to ensure expeditious disposal of cases. (i) case management hearings to fix timelines regarding the date of first hearing, fixing of issues, etc and (ii) detailed and stringent procedures for discovery, disclosure and inspection of documents. Court shall ensure that the arguments are closed within 6 months from the date of the first case management hearing. Provisions introduced to curb frivolous litigation summary judgement against the plaintiff or defendant if the court believes that there is no substance in the claim.

4 Legal Reforms...contd Amendments to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 to streamline the arbitration process ensure that the arbitration proceedings are completed within a time bound period. Reduce the scope of judicial intervention. The scope of judicial interference on the grounds of public policy has been amended to limit it to only where the award: (i) was induced or affected by fraud or corruption; (ii) is found to be in contravention with the fundamental policy of Indian law; (iii) is against basic notions of morality and justice. The arbitral award should be made within 12 months from the date the arbitral tribunal enters upon the reference. The parties may by mutual consent agree to extend the term of the arbitral tribunal, for a term not exceeding 6 months. The arbitral tribunal is required to hold the oral hearings on a day to day basis and not grant any adjournments, unless there is sufficient cause. A fast track procedure of arbitration has also been introduced.

5 Legal Reforms...contd Constitution of the National Company Law Tribunal NCLT constituted on June 1, 2016 The NCLT consolidates the corporate jurisdiction of: i. Company Law Board, ii. Board of Industrial and Financial Reconstruction, iii. Appellate Authority for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction and iv. jurisdiction and powers relating to winding up, restructuring and other provisions as vested with the High Courts. Reduces the burden on courts and will help companies facing issues related to winding up, mismanagement and insolvency of businesses. Eliminates the overlap the conflicting rulings and will minimize the delays in the resolution of disputes

6 Legal Reforms...contd Constitution of the National Company Law Tribunal NCLT is initially located at ten places across India. It will prove out to be effective platform for adjudication of disputes on corporate law matters through disposal of such cases in a time bound and speedy manner. Increased transparency through the amendment in the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, Any change in the shareholding position of promoters and top ten shareholders of the company representing increase or decrease by 2% or more of the paid-up share capital needs to be reported within 15 days of such changes. Provision introduced to facilitate members of Listed Company with 1000 or more members to exercise vote through electronic means. Rules dealing with amalgamation, compromise, arrangement, liquidation and winding up were introduced. These rules have provided the procedures relevant for corporate restructuring and also clarified the issues relating to implementation of the restructurings.

7 Legal Reforms: National Company Law Tribunal...contd. 7 Impact of reforms: Increased the shareholder rights with regard to voting and disclosure of a related- party transactions. Provides time to the members to be prepared on the transactions to be discussed in the members meeting and take informed decision. Helps the members to meet the management of the Company and understand the financial position and business transactions of the Company. NCLT will prove out to be effective platform for adjudication of disputes on corporate law matters through disposal of such cases in a time bound and speedy manner. Amendment in the rules will increase transparency and communication of the changes in the shareholding pattern within short period of time. Provision will lead to increase in number of member s participation in the decision making process of the company. Further, this will provide ease of voting from anywhere and it will benefit the companies in declaring the results of the voting in a short period of time. This provision will empower NCLT to assume the jurisdiction of the High Court as the sanctioning authority in relation to compromises, arrangements and amalgamations. This will speed up the time required for obtaining approval on restructuring schemes.
