EFFECTIVE CASE MANAGEMENT OF AN INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION UNDER ICC ARBITRATION AND ADR RULES

While producing an enforceable award is the main goal of an international arbitration, time and cost efficiency are, also, leading requirements, since the parties are entitled to find out, without delay and at appropriate costs, if and when they may plan on the financial resources that are subject to their dispute. Effective case management is the main tool that may comply with those requirements, providing for procedural measures and appropriate planning of the arbitration proceedings, so as to enable a swift and effective solution of the case. ICC Arbitration Rules (2012) provide updated case management procedures to ensure efficiency within the dispute resolution process.
