Enforcement of “Exclusive Jurisdiction Clauses” in Contracts

Reported by Rose M. Wachuka

Arbitration – exclusive jurisdiction clause– exceptional circumstances -free conferment of jurisdiction by the parties

Contract Law – sanctity of contract -re-writing contracts for the parties by the court.

Issue:

i. Whether the court should give effect to an 'exclusive jurisdiction clause' in an agreement which the parties freely and voluntarily conferred jurisdiction to the courts of Delhi, to resolve any dispute arising from the performance of their contract in Kenya.

Held:

1. The rule that the parties should be held to their bargain should only be departed from in special and exceptional cases.

2. The parties entered into the subcontract voluntarily and there were no exceptional circumstances that had occurred during the sub-contract to warrant a departure.

3. It is trite that a court cannot rewrite a contract for the parties.

4. Business people mainly choose arbitration over courts mainly because they want a more expeditious resolution of disputes.

Appeal allowed with costs.
