Should you contest an international arbitration case wrongly filed in Civil Court instead of the High Court in Pakistan?

By filing an application to challenge the court’s jurisdiction, you may be submitting the jurisdiction of the court, as may be argued by the opposing party. However, failure to do so may result in an ex parte decision. Therefore, weighing the pros and cons of this strategy, it is advisable to do so and inform the court about the opposing party’s error or deliberate action to oust the jursidiction of the High Court, the competent court of jurisdiction in foreign/international arbitration proceedings.
