LCIA launches new arbitration rules

The LCIA has just published its new arbitration rules, effective from 1 October  2020. These rules were scheduled to be published just before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, so the institution decided to delay their publication for a few months, taking advantage of this time to introduce some improvements to help expedite arbitration proceedings in this era.

New LCIA arbitration rules available at this link.

The institution has also issued new mediation rules that are available at this link.
