INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION RULES AMENDED
The International Chamber of Commerce has amended its rules for the arbitration of international disputes involving commercial disputes, effective January 1, 2012. Two principal areas of amendment are: (1) to provide for the appointment of an emergency arbitrator to order pre-arbitration relief, usually to preserve assets and the status quo; and (2) to facilitate the consolidation of disputes involving multiple contracts, multiple parties and claims between multiple parties. Among the many other amendments are provisions governing disclosures by arbitrators and updated case management procedures. The amendments are found in the ICC’s Arbitration and ADR Rules.
