PRACTICE NOTES
Comparative guide to post-award remedies under ICC, LCIA, HKIAC, SIAC, DIAC, ICDR and UNCITRAL: corrections, interpretations, additional awards and exhaustion before court challenges
This Practice Note
This Practice Note outlines the narrow bases on which a party to international arbitration may seek the correction, review or interpretation of an award from either the arbitral tribunal or the administering institution, under institutional rules including:
International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA)
Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC)
Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC)
Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC)
International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR)
United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) arbitration rules
