Party autonomy does not usurp the power of our courts

Often, commercial agreements have arbitration clauses that make it peremptory for parties to the agreement to refer a dispute between them to arbitration. The effect of such clauses is that they oust a court’s jurisdiction to determine a dispute between the parties emanating from the agreement. However, despite these clauses in commercial agreements, courts are empowered by section 3(2) of the Arbitration Act 42 of 1965 (Arbitration Act), on good cause shown by an applicant, to set aside an arbitration agreement and order that the dispute between the parties not be referred to arbitration. AIG South Africa Limited (AIG) successfully brought such an application in AIG South Africa Limited v Molefe JDR 3456 (GP).
