The arbitral institutions administering expedited arbitration that responded were these: Vienna International Arbitral Centre, Construction Industry Arbitration Council, Russian Arbitration Center, Milan Chamber of Arbitration, London Court of International Arbitration, Georgian International Arbitration Centre, Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, International Centre for Alternative Dispute Resolution, China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, Asian International Arbitration Centre, Singapore International Arbitration Centre, Madrid Court of Arbitration, German Arbitration Institute, Bahrain Chamber for Dispute Resolution, Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, Swiss Chambers’ Arbitration Institution and Korean Commercial Arbitration Board.
The questions posed about expedited arbitration and the responses received from the mentioned arbitral institutions administering expedited arbitration are set out on this UNCITRAL webpage.
