The China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (“CIETAC“) has recently published its revised Arbitration Rules, which come into force on 1 May 2012 (the “2012 Rules“). The rules are available on CIETAC’s website.
The 2012 Rules aim to address the increasing complexity of contemporary arbitration proceedings, to provide greater autonomy to parties and to codify and clarify CIETAC’s existing practice. The changes are designed to ensure that CIETAC remains competitive among other international arbitration centres, all of which have witnessed a rapid development in China-related business.
