Section 7 mandates that arbitration agreements must be in writing — oral agreements are not valid. The writing requirement can be satisfied by signed documents, electronic communications, or exchange of claim/defence statements. Option A is incorrect because it includes 'oral' which is explicitly excluded.

  1. 1 Pick up ACA 1996.
  2. 2 Go to Section 7.
  3. 3 Read sub-section (3): 'An arbitration agreement shall be in writing.'
  4. 4 Option A says 'written as well as oral' — this contradicts S.7(3). Must be written only → A is INCORRECT.
The text reads: Section 7(3): An arbitration agreement shall be in writing.
