About the Seminar:

It has now been about a year since the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) launched its 2017 Rules of Arbitration (ICC Rules 2017) to introduce the new Expedited Procedure and other changes to streamline proceedings and increase transparency.

How has the take-up been for the “new” expedited procedure? What are some practical pointers or challenges faced in implementation? What does this mean for the arbitrators?

This 1-hour presentation seeks to:

1. Recap the key changes that were made in ICC Rules 2017, and what the response has been in the past year since its launch;
2. Discuss practical points of how the new processes has been implemented in practice and some key points to look out for; and
3. Discuss the key differences for an arbitrator when appointed for an arbitration with an Expedited Procedure.
