SIAC Arb  
SIAC Arbitration Rules (2025)

  1. A party who wishes to challenge an arbitrator shall file a notice of challenge with the Registrar:
(a) within three days from the date of receipt of the notice of appointment of the arbitrator who is being challenged; or
(b) within three days from the date that the reasons for challenge of an arbitrator specified in the SIAC Rules became known or should have reasonably been known to that party.
  1. If within three days after the date the notice of challenge is filed, all other parties agree to the challenge or the challenged arbitrator voluntarily withdraws from office, the SIAC Court may direct that a substitute arbitrator be appointed in accordance with this Protocol and the SIAC Rules. In neither case does this imply acceptance of the validity of the grounds for the challenge.
  2. The procedures for challenge and replacement of an arbitrator in the applicable SIAC Rules shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to a challenge of an arbitrator under this Protocol, save that the SIAC Court may determine that no reasons are to be provided in a decision on the challenge.
