The Act requires arbitration agreements to be in writing, empowers courts to appoint arbitrators where parties are unable to agree, and sets out specific, limited grounds — such as arbitrator misconduct — on which a resulting award can be challenged and set aside. Since domestic arbitration remains governed by this decades-old framework rather than the UNCITRAL Model Law used internationally, understanding its exact statutory provisions is essential for anyone drafting arbitration clauses or litigating disputes arising from arbitral awards in Pakistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp;
