PLC Arbitration has published a case study on commencing an arbitration under the ICC Rules of Arbitration 2012, which came into force on 1 January 2012.
PLC Arbitration has published Case study, Commencing ICC arbitration (2012 Rules), authored by Rachel Stephens at K&L Gates LLP, which illustrates the commencement of an International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) arbitration under the ICC Rules of Arbitration 2012 (ICC Rules 2012). The ICC Rules 2012 entered into force on 1 January 2012 and apply to all arbitrations commenced on or after 1 January 2012, unless the parties have agreed to submit their arbitration to the rules in effect on the date of their arbitration agreement (Article 6(1)) (see Legal update, ICC Rules of Arbitration 2012 launched).
The case study offers guidance on both how to:
  • Draft and file a Request for Arbitration.
  • Respond to the Request with an Answer, and (where appropriate), how to file a counterclaim.
The case study consists of two standard documents, with accompanying drafting notes and covering letters:
  • Commencing ICC arbitration (2012 Rules): Request.
  • Commencing ICC arbitration (2012 Rules): Answer to Request.
