Abstract

International economic transactions are constantly growing and evolving. As a consequence, dispute resolution services must be prepared to respond to the new challenges and needs of the global market. With this in mind, the ICC Commission on Arbitration and ADR adopted new Expert Rules, under which the ICC Centre for ADR provides distinct services relating to experts and neutrals in numerous technical and legal areas. The three new sets of Expert Rules provide for proposal, appointment and case administration services respectively. The changes are also intended to bring the Expert Rules in line with the 2012 ICC Arbitration Rules and with the 2014 ICC Mediation Rules. In this article, the authors provide an overview of the new Rules, detailing the main changes that were introduced and how the Rules may interact with ICC Arbitration, Mediation, Dispute Board, and DOCDEX proceedings. The new Expert Rules make for ideal tools in various types of proceedings and at any stage thereof. As such, expert-related services are not only a great complement to amicable dispute resolution, arbitration and court proceedings, but can also serve as an autonomous dispute resolution tool.
