ICC Appointment Rules (2018)
(1) When requesting ICC to act under the Rules, a party shall submit an application (the “Application”) to the Secretariat at any of its offices pursuant to the Internal Rules. The Secretariat shall notify the other party or parties, and any arbitrators, if applicable, of the receipt of the Application and the date of such receipt.
(2) The date on which the Application is received by the Secretariat shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the date on which ICC is requested to act under the Rules.
(3) The Application shall contain the following information:
a) the name in full, description, address and other contact details of each of the parties;
b) the name in full, description, address and other contact details of any person representing any of the parties, if known;
c) the name in full, description, address and other contact details of any arbitrator, if applicable;
d) the notice of arbitration and any response to the notice of arbitration, as referred to respectively in Articles 3 and 4 of the UNCITRAL Rules, in UNCITRAL Arbitration Proceedings; or any equivalent document in Other Arbitration Proceedings;
e) any relevant agreements and, in particular, the arbitration agreement(s);
f) any applicable time limits;
g) all relevant particulars and any observations or proposals as to the place of the arbitration, the applicable rules of law and the language of the arbitration;
h) a description of the services requested;
i) in the event of a challenge of an arbitrator, the reasons or basis for the challenge;
j) any request for fixed costs for multiple services pursuant to the Appendix to the Rules (the “Appendix”), if applicable; and
k) any other information that the Applicant deems appropriate.
(4) Together with the Application, the Applicant shall:
a) submit the number of copies thereof required by Article 3(2); and
b) make payment of the filing fee required by Article 12 and the Appendix in force on the date the Application is submitted.
In the event that the Applicant fails to comply with either of these requirements, the Secretariat may fix a time limit within which the Applicant must comply, failing which the file shall be closed without prejudice to the Applicant’s right to submit the same request at a later date in another Application.
(5) The Secretariat shall transmit a copy of the Application and the documents annexed thereto to the Responding Party and, if applicable, any arbitrator, once the Secretariat has sufficient copies of the Application and the required filing fee. Taking into account any applicable time limits, the Secretariat shall grant the Responding Party and, if applicable, any arbitrator a reasonable opportunity to respond.
(6) At any time, the Court may request additional information from the parties or, if applicable, the arbitrator(s).
