ˇ§The 2012 ICC Rules of Arbitration

An official launch event of the new ICC Rules of Arbitration Co-organised by ICC International Court of Arbitration and ICC-Hong Kong
 

The ICC Rules of Arbitration, which are used worldwide to resolve hundreds of business disputes each year, have been newly revised to take account of current requirements and developments in arbitration practice and procedure since the last revision in 1998.  The new version is the fruit of two years of active work within the ICC Commission on Arbitration, a think tank of 620 dispute resolution specialists from 90 countries. A core group comprising Commission members and representatives of the Secretariat of the ICC International Court of Arbitration have drawn on their own professional experience and feedback from a 200-member task force to draft the new Rules. This conference will unveil and explain the changes made to the Rules in this, its third, revision and will be the first opportunity in Asia for practitioners to acquire a comprehensive overview of the changes in readiness for the subsequent entry into force of the new Rules on 1 January 2012, and to have a direct exchange with several of the experts from the drafting group.
