The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators have published the Scottish short form arbitration rules.
On 19 December 2012, the Scottish Branch of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators published short form arbitration rules which provide a fast track route to obtaining a binding decision from an arbitrator with limited recourse to the courts. These rules are designed to cover disputes up to £25,000 (plus VAT) but they can be used for larger disputes if the parties so agree. Under the Rules, an arbitration should be completed within 77 days.
