Examination and Cross-examination in International Arbitration

If a case is to be decided only on the basis of the documents submitted by the parties without holding a hearing, any and all the evidence shall be submitted to the arbitral tribunal or the secretariat within the time period specified by the arbitral tribunal or the arbitration rules, with a copy forwarded to the other party.

If a hearing is held where the disputing parties will be present, any and all the evidence, including any expert’s opinion or appraiser’s report, shall be presented for examination and cross-examination. And any witness, expert, appraiser, and other relevant person may be called on to testify and be examined and cross-examined.

For more detailed provisions pertaining to examination and cross-examination, please refer to the applicable arbitration rules.
