The Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) has released statistics of the number of new cases filed with the SCC during the first four months of 2010, which include the first decision rendered under the new Emergency Arbitrator provision.
The SCC has released statistics of the number of new cases filed with it during the first four months of 2010. The number of cases is slightly lower than last year, although that was a record year with 20% growth. The new cases are almost evenly split between international and domestic cases whereas international cases constitute 62% of the pending cases.
The first decision under the new Emergency Arbitrator provisions of the SCC Rules, which entered into force on 1 January 1 2010, was rendered during this period. (For discussion on those provisions, see Legal update, Revised SCC arbitration rules have entered into force.)
