SIAC Arbitration Rules (2025)
- A party who wishes to challenge an Emergency Arbitrator shall file a notice of challenge with the Registrar:
(a) within 24 hours from the date of receipt of the notice of appointment of the Emergency Arbitrator; or
(b) within 24 hours from the date that the circumstances specified in Rule 26.1 became known or should have reasonably been known to that party.
A party is not permitted to challenge an Emergency Arbitrator after the constitution of the Tribunal.
- If within 24 hours from the date the notice of challenge is filed, the other party agrees to the challenge or the challenged Emergency Arbitrator voluntarily withdraws from office, the SIAC Court may direct that a substitute Emergency Arbitrator be appointed in accordance with Rule 30.1 and Schedule 1. In neither case does this imply acceptance of the validity of the grounds for the challenge.
- The procedure for challenge and replacement of an arbitrator provided in Rule 27, Rule 28, and Rule 30, shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to a challenge to an Emergency Arbitrator, save that the SIAC Court may determine that no reasons are to be provided for its decision on the challenge.
