Hearing in Summary Procedure in International Arbitration

Discretion

The sole arbitrator may examine and decide the case in any manner it deems appropriate, either by holding a hearing with or without seeking opinions from the disputing parties, or solely based on the documents and other evidence submitted by the disputing parties.

Change of Procedure

Any alteration to any claim or counterclaim or the filing of a counterclaim shall be without prejudice to the application of the summary procedure.
