FAI Expedited Arbitration Rules 2024
25.1 Subject to these Rules and any agreement by the parties, the sole arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration in such manner as the sole arbitrator considers appropriate, taking into account the requirement of rapidity inherent in expedited proceedings.
25.2 In all cases, the sole arbitrator shall ensure that the parties are treated with equality and that each party is given a reasonable opportunity to present its case.
25.3 All participants in the arbitral proceedings shall act in good faith and make every effort to contribute to the efficient conduct of the proceedings in order to avoid unnecessary costs and delays.
25.4 By agreeing to arbitration under the Rules, the parties undertake to comply with any order or other direction of the sole arbitrator without delay.
25.5 The sole arbitrator may, after consulting with the parties, appoint a secretary when deemed appropriate. A secretary shall meet the same requirements of impartiality and independence as the sole arbitrator under Article 20.1. The Institute may separately issue further instructions on the appointment, duties and remuneration of a secretary.
25.6 With the agreement of all parties, the sole arbitrator may take steps to facilitate the settlement of the dispute. Any such agreement by a party shall constitute a waiver of its right to challenge the sole arbitrator’s impartiality based on the arbitrator’s participation and knowledge acquired in taking the agreed steps.
25.7 All communications to the sole arbitrator by one party shall be communicated by that party to all other parties. Such communications shall be made simultaneously, except as otherwise permitted by the sole arbitrator.
