Risk of court intervention
Usually, judicial intervention in arbitration is limited to the purposes mentioned in the Arbitration Act. There have been cases where the courts have directed the parties to approach an already subsisting arbitral tribunal for interim measures. Similarly, there have been some cases in which the courts interfered when issues of impartiality or independence of the arbitrators arose. However, since then the law has been clarified.
Delaying proceedings
As the courts only intervene in very limited cases, there is very little that a party can do to delay an arbitral proceeding.
