How arbitration proceedings work

Arbitration proceedings allow flexible organisation of the process but are based on formal procedural steps, notices and evidence.

General sequence

The procedure is built around filing a claim, notifying the respondent, constituting the tribunal and examining the parties’ positions.

The claimant submits a statement of claim, contract, arbitration clause, evidence and authority documents.

The secretariat organises notice to the respondent and further communication.

A sole arbitrator or a panel of arbitrators is constituted in accordance with the clause and the Rules.

The tribunal sets the order for submissions, evidence and hearings.

A hearing may take place in person, remotely or in writing.

The tribunal renders an award based on the materials and positions submitted.
