This service is suitable for parties who are in need of and comfortable with a swift, direct appointment of a sole Arbitrator, three Arbitrators, or the Presiding Arbitrator by SCCA without any further intermediary steps.
The parties can authorize SCCA in their arbitration agreement (or by post-dispute submission) to act as the appointing authority. SCCA will then perform all functions as the appointing authority per party-agreement.
This service is also available when SCCA has been designated by the Secretary-General of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague or a competent court ordering it to act in such a capacity.
By agreeing to the Direct Appointment Service, the parties authorize SCCA to administer the following steps:
Request for Direct Appointment
Once requested by either side and based on party-agreement (or PCA/court), SCCA will invite one or more candidates drawn from its SCCA Arbitrator Roster to serve as an Arbitrator based on qualifications, expertise, and other factors requested by the parties in writing or during an administrative conference.
The service fee is due and payable at the time of the submission of the service request. If SCCA determines at its discretion that it is unable to appoint an Arbitrator after completing a full search of its SCCA Arbitrator Roster, SCCA will refund the service fee.
