Description of International Arbitration Rules

Organising an arbitration procedure can be a complicated process. Frequently, parties to a contract with an arbitration claim will involve an institution to provide important organisational resources and assistance in the conduct and supervision of the arbitration.

The Rules used by the various institutions are usually similar but they can vary in important respects and in ways which the parties to the original contract may be unaware of when agreeing to a specific institution. International Arbitration Rules: A Comparative Guide compares the Rules of the different arbitration associations in a tabular format which is easy to digest and practical to use, with introductory summaries for each stage of the arbitration process.

- Commentary on the objectives, purpose and meaning of each institutions' Rules
- Discussion of the consequences of Rule selection
- A bibliography of contacts and addresses
