Following the launch of the new LCIA rules earlier this month, Vanessa Naish, Professional Support Consultant and Arbitration Practice Manager, and Andrew Cannon, Partner and councillor on the LCIA European Users' Council, have recorded a podcast discussing the branding of the rule change as an "update" rather than a "re-write" and the headline changes, being:
- Tribunal secretaries;
- Keeping the annex on counsel conduct and the change to "authorised representatives" rather than "legal representatives";
- Increased clarity on the ability to issue a composite request (and a response) for multiple arbitrations;
- Expansion of the circumstances in which consolidation may be available;
- The wide tribunal discretion throughout the process, and clarity around the ability to summarily dismiss certain claims.
The podcast can be listened to on SoundCloud, iTunes, and Spotify.
