The court where cause of action arises always has jurisdiction and law of the country where court is situated and cause of action arises will apply.
Re: reply
Sir,
Jurisdiction cannot be conferred on Courts by execution of agreement. A Court, within whose jurisdiction cause of action has accrued always assumes jurisdiction. So, if the cause of action arises in Finland then Courts at Finland would have Jurisdiction and law of Finland will be Applicable and if the Cause of Action accrues in India, then Courts in India will have jurisdiction and Indian law will be applicable.
To the above rule, there is one exception i.e. arbitration clause. When there is arbitration clause, then the place of arbitration and the law applicable, will the the decided as per the clause in the Agreement.

Re: reply
Hello
It all depends on the clause which is mentioned in the contract. If the contract says if any dispute etc arises in Finland then the laws of Finland will be applied and if in India then the Indian Laws will be applied as far arbitration is concerned.
Please contact personally alongwith details for more information.
