The Expedited Procedure Rules (Appendix II of the Rules) are designed for disputes of reduced size or complexity, where the complete procedural protocol provided by the Rules is not justified.
They enable parties to resolve their disputes on average in six months with a fee reduction of 20% when compared to standard arbitration. First adopted on October 15, 2018, and revised on May 1, 2023, they automatically apply where the aggregate amount in dispute does not exceed SAR 4,000,000 (exclusive of costs of arbitration).
But parties may opt into the Expedited Procedure Rules regardless of the aggregate amount in dispute. They apply alongside the Rules and prevail over the Rules in case of conflict.
