SCC Arbitration Rules (2023)
(1) A party may challenge any arbitrator if circumstances exist that give rise to justifiable doubts as to the arbitrator’s impartiality or independence or if the arbitrator does not possess the qualifications agreed by the parties.
(2) A party may challenge an arbitrator it has appointed, or in whose appointment it has participated, only for reasons it becomes aware of after the appointment was made.
(3) A party wishing to challenge an arbitrator shall submit a written statement to the Secretariat stating the reasons for the challenge within 15 days from the date the circumstances giving rise to the challenge became known to the party. Failure to challenge an arbitrator within the stipulated time constitutes a waiver of the party’s right to make the challenge.
(4) The Secretariat shall notify the parties and the arbitrators of the challenge and give them an opportunity to submit comments.
(5) If the other party agrees to the challenge, the arbitrator shall resign. In all other cases, the Board shall take the final decision on the challenge.
