We are pleased to share our latest legal update on a significant order of the Company Bench of the High Court Division concerning ongoing BGMEA Arbitration proceedings involving a New York-based apparel sourcing and supply chain management corporation.

The Court stayed the proceedings under Section 20 of the Arbitration Act, 2001, following a challenge to the jurisdiction of the BGMEA Arbitration Tribunal in the absence of a written arbitration agreement.

The High Court also summoned the Secretary General of BGMEA to explain a demand letter sent to the foreign buyer and whether BGMEA has the authority to compel non-consenting parties to arbitration.

The US-based sourcing company is represented by Saqeb Mahbub, Partner, and M Parvez Rana, Associate at Mahbub & Company.

On 16 August 2026, Mahbub & Company's Cross-Border Disputes Department held an insightful session on "Construction Contract and Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)", led by Saqeb Mahbub, Partner at Mahbub & Company. The session explored how large-scale construction contracts and PPAs operate in Bangladesh along with the role and implementation of FIDIC standards. Discussions also covered the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), Particular Conditions of Contract (PCC), variations and adjustments in contract and employer's and contractor's claim mechanism.

The session further looked into the timeline and stages of dispute resolution mechanism, starting with the dispute board, followed by amicable settlement and finally arbitration, offering valuable insights in practical and legal dynamics of construction and PPA contracts. The session sparked meaningful discussion among the participants and reflected the growing importance of understanding structural frameworks of construction and energy sectors in Bangladesh.

What does communication look like in a law firm?

Legal communications are still an emerging discipline in Bangladesh. Unlike many industries, legal communication isn't about saying more; it's about knowing what should and shouldn't be said. Every message must balance clarity with confidentiality, visibility with professional ethics, while reflecting the firm's values with accuracy and responsibility.

At Mahbub & Company, we believe that growth begins with curiosity and a willingness to embrace new challenges. We appreciate Tahmina Bhuiya Mina for her commitment to continuous learning, adaptability, and dedication to growing alongside the firm as she helps shape this evolving area of legal practice.

We are pleased to share our latest legal update on a significant order of the Company Bench of the High Court Division concerning an arbitral award issued by the BGMEA Arbitration Tribunal against a New York-based apparel sourcing and supply chain management corporation.

The update discusses the Courtโ€™s decision to stay the operation of the arbitral award following an application filed under Section 42 of the Arbitration Act, 2001. The petitioner challenged the award as ex facie illegal and passed without jurisdiction, arguing, among other grounds, that there was no written arbitration agreement between the parties as required under Section 9 of the Arbitration Act, 2001 and the BGMEA Arbitration Rules, 2016.

The petitioner further contended that it was neither a party to the underlying export contracts nor a beneficiary of the relevant letters of credit. The application also raised concerns regarding the delayed service of the arbitral award.

The order highlights important issues concerning the validity of arbitration agreements, jurisdiction and procedural compliance in arbitral proceedings involving international commercial parties.

The US-based sourcing company was represented by Saqeb Mahbub, Partner, and Mohammad Parvez Rana, Associate at Mahbub & Company.

We are pleased to share our latest legal update on a significant decision of the Commercial Court concerning the interplay between the Artha Rin Adalat Ain, 2003 and the Arbitration Act, 2001.

The update discusses the Courtโ€™s decision to allow an Arbitration Miscellaneous Case filed by Mahbub & Company on behalf of a renewable energy power producer, and to appoint an arbitrator under Section 12 of the Arbitration Act, 2001, despite the pendency of recovery proceedings before the Artha Rin Adalat.

The decision reinforces the pro-arbitration approach of the Bangladeshi courts. It recognises that the pendency of recovery proceedings does not, by itself, prevent parties from pursuing arbitration where a valid arbitration agreement exists. It also affirms the independent and enforceable nature of an arbitration clause and the importance of giving effect to the partiesโ€™ agreed dispute resolution mechanism.

Under the supervision of Barrister Saqeb Mahbub, Partner at Mahbub & Company, the petitioner company was represented in court by Tajriyaan Akram Hussain, Associate and Lead, Corporate Secretarial Department, assisted by Asif Hasan Satu, Junior Associate.
