DIS Supplementary Rules for Third-Party Notices (2024)

7.1
If the arbitral tribunal is comprised of a sole arbitrator, the parties and Interveners may jointly nominate the sole arbitrator within 21 days following the date of
(i) transmission of the Request to all Respondents,
(ii) transmission of the Statements of Third-Party Notice to all third-party notice recipients to whom the third-party notice has been issued in time pursuant to Article 4.1 or 4.2
and
(iii) transmission of all binding determinations in accordance with Article 6.2 sentence 4.
7.2
If a third-party notice is issued pursuant to the requirements of Article 4.3, the DIS shall refrain from appointing an arbitrator until the expiry of the Intervention Period and, in case of intervention, until transmission of the binding determination in accordance with Article 6.2 sentence 4. In this case, the time limit stipulated in Article 7.1 shall recommence with the transmission of the binding confirmation of the validity of the intervention of the third-party notice recipient.
7.3
If the parties and Interveners do not agree on a sole arbitrator within the time limits stipulated in Articles 7.1 and 7.2, the sole arbitrator shall be selected and appointed by the Appointing Committee in accordance with Articles 11 and 13.2 of the Rules. Article 11 sentence 3 of the Rules shall apply with the provision that Interveners shall be treated as parties.
7.4
Until the constitution of the arbitral tribunal, the Main Party may withdraw its third-party notice by notice of withdrawal to the DIS. A third-party notice recipient that has joined the arbitration as an Intervener upon the third-party notice is released from the arbitration; a follow-on third-party notice issued by the released third-party notice recipient shall be deemed to be withdrawn. Upon submission of the notice of withdrawal to the DIS, the time limits stipulated in Articles 7.1 and 7.2 shall recommence and the effects of Article 11 shall cease with respect to the released third-party notice recipient.
