Bombay HC – MMRDA & Mumbai Metro One Project – Severance of Arbitral Award
Here the bad part of the award is not inseparably interwoven with the good part. The claims which are found to be unsustainable are independent of the claims which are sustained. Therefore, setting aside claims towards additional overheads, additional interests, financial expenses and opportunity costs on loss of profit would have no impact on sustaining the claims towards Andheri Bridge, Wadala land and increase in cost of system works. Hence the principle of severability can easily be adopted in the present case.
