In a general legal sense, Jurisdiction is the authority or power of a court (or an arbitral tribunal) to hear and decide a case. In the context of Arbitration:
Competence-Competence (Section 16): An arbitral tribunal has the power to rule on its own jurisdiction, including any objections regarding the existence or validity of the arbitration agreement.
Territorial Jurisdiction: Refers to the geographical area (the "Seat" of arbitration) where the tribunal’s authority is exercised.
Subject-Matter Jurisdiction: Refers to whether the specific type of dispute is "arbitrable" under the law. For example, criminal matters or matrimonial disputes are generally outside the jurisdiction of an arbitral tribunal.
Pecuniary Jurisdiction: Refers to the authority of a body based on the monetary value of the dispute.
