Arbitration RulesHKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules
The HKIAC has formulated several sets of rules, which the parties are free to adopt. These rules include rules for domestic arbitrations, “short form” proceedings, small claims, documents only proceedings, and electric transaction disputes. The HKIAC Administered Rules are designed for use by parties who seek the formality and convenience of an administered arbitration. The Rules are the latest addition to the HKIAC’s dispute resolution services and replace the previous HKIAC Procedures for the Administration of International Arbitration, adopted on 31 March 2005. The new Rules are based on the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules and are inspired by the “light touch” administered approach of the Swiss International Rules of Arbitration.
