ICDR International Dispute Resolution Procedures

The use of arbitration is continuing to increase throughout the world, and The International Centre for Dispute Resolution^® (ICDR^®) has been providing ground-breaking rules and procedures to ensure a fair, well-managed, and cost-effective process. A prime objective of the ICDR in these enhanced Rules was to achieve the highest level of process efficiency, as well as to codify certain well-established ICDR administrative practices and to introduce several new provisions.

The revisions include:

International Expedited Procedures providing for a sole arbitrator in cases where no disclosed claim or counterclaim exceeds USD $250,000, exclusive of interest and arbitration costs.
Provisions for consolidation and joinder.
A Notice of Appointment signed by prospective arbitrators affirming their independence, impartiality and availability to serve promptly in the case.
Streamlined exchange of information.
Exclusion of U.S. litigation procedures from information gathering.
Time limit for the issuance of the award from the closing of the hearing.
