The Hon’ble Delhi High Court in National Highways Authority of India v. Sahakar Global Ltd. [O.M.P. (COMM) No. 486 of 2020 decided on September 29, 2020], dismissed the petition and refused to interfere with the arbitral award passed by the Arbitrator to pay the compensation for loss generated in revenue triggered by the reduced toll collection due to implementation of GST and held that, the date of implementation of GST was not known and could not be speculated by anybody. It is a ‘change in law’ qualifying as a force majeure event.
