PRACTICE NOTES
LCAM Rules: arbitral tribunal duties, impartiality, confidentiality, jurisdiction, case management, evidence, interim measures, hearings, awards and costs
Duty of impartiality and independence Each member of the Arbitral Tribunal is required to remain unbiased and independent of the parties (Article 14.1). In broad terms, the Tribunal enjoys discretion to manage the arbitration as it deems suitable, provided it complies with the LCAM Rules and any arrangement between the parties (Article 19.1). That discretion is constrained by a duty to conduct the proceedings in an impartial, practical and swift manner, giving every party an equal and reasonable chance to put forward its case (Article 19.2). Although the expression ‘impartial, practical and expeditious’ is not commonly found in the rules of other well established arbitral bodies, it does not, in substance, differ from the familiar requirements of fairness, efficiency and expeditiousness recognised elsewhere. Statement of impartiality Before appointment, any proposed member of the Arbitral Tribunal must sign a declaration of impartiality and independence, and disclose any circumstances that could give rise to justifiable doubts about their impartiality or independence from the perspective of the parties. If that individual is appointed as an arbitrator, they must then submit to the LCAM Secretariat a signed statement confirming impartiality, independence and availability (Article 14.2)...
