The new CIArb Dispute Board Rules and comparison table of Dispute Board Rules

In August 2014 the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators produced and published a set of international commercial dispute board rules (the “CIArb Rules”). The CIArb Rules are designed to be easily incorporated into contract by inserting one of two alternative precedent clauses, and they can be used on any medium- or long-term project, whether construction, IT, commercial, or otherwise.

Nicholas Gould was the Chair of the Drafting Committee of the new CIArb Dispute Board Rules. Click here to see the full CIArb Dispute Board Rules, Practice and Standards Committee.
