This panel discussion among leading arbitrators, practitioners, and managers will examine expedited arbitration rules from a number of different arbitration regimes including UNCITRAL, ICDR and others. Beyond a recitation of rules, the panel will focus on real-world issues and outcomes based on hands-on experience.
Discussion will include:
- What constitutes 'expedited' under leading arbitral rules
- Expedited caseload data and statistics
- Benefits and challenges of expedited procedures from the view of the arbitrator, party and administrator
- When can parties decide to utilize expedited procedures and when can arbitrators decide against the use of expedited procedures?
- Who are expedited arbitrators - the expedited caseload as an opportunity to diversify and grow?
- 'Real life' examples of the efficacy and lack thereof of expedited procedures
