PRACTICE NOTES
LCAM Rules: A practitioner's guide to appointing, confirming, challenging, releasing and replacing arbitrators, including tribunal composition, multi-party cases, qualifications, impartiality and independence
Procedure for appointment of the Arbitral Tribunal
The process for constituting the Arbitral Tribunal starts once the LCAM Board has the Respondent’s Answer and, where necessary, any additional information it has requested under Article 5. Under Article 13.2 of the LCAM Rules, the parties are free to agree any method for appointing the Arbitral Tribunal. If, however, the parties fail to agree the number of arbitrator(s) or who they should be within the deadline they have set, the LCAM Rules provide for the appointment of an arbitrator, as described below.
Every appointment in LCAM arbitrations, whether made by the parties or by the LCAM Board, requires the LCAM Board’s confirmation (Article 13.1) once the arbitrator’s statement of impartiality has been received. That confirmation is at the LCAM Board’s absolute discretion, and the parties cannot contract out of this requirement.
