1)

A party wishing to have recourse to arbitration under the Rules shall submit its Request for Arbitration (the ‘Request’) to the Secretariat at any of the offices specified in the Internal Rules. The Secretariat shall notify the claimant and respondent of the receipt of the Request and the date of such receipt.

2)

The date on which the Request is received by the Secretariat shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the date of the commencement of the arbitration.

3)

The Request shall contain the following information:

a): the name in full, description, address and other contact details of each of the parties;
b): the name in full, address and other contact details of any person(s) representing the claimant in the arbitration;
c): a description of the nature and circumstances of the dispute giving rise to the claims and of the basis upon which the claims are made;
d): a statement of the relief sought, together with the amounts of any quantified claims and, to the extent possible, an estimate of the monetary value of any other claims;
e): any relevant agreements and, in particular, the arbitration agreement(s);
f): where claims are made under more than one arbitration agreement, an indication of the arbitration agreement under which each claim is made;
g): all relevant particulars and any observations or proposals concerning the number of arbitrators and their choice in accordance with the provisions of Articles 12 and 13, and any nomination of an arbitrator required thereby; and
h): all relevant particulars and any observations or proposals as to the place of the arbitration, the applicable rules of law and the language of the arbitration.

The claimant may submit such other documents or information with the Request as it considers appropriate or as may contribute to the efficient resolution of the dispute.

4)

Together with the Request, the claimant shall:

a): submit the number of copies thereof required by Article 3(1); and
b): make payment of the filing fee required by Appendix III (‘Arbitration Costs and Fees’) in force on the date the Request is submitted.

In the event that the claimant fails to comply with either of these requirements, the Secretariat may fix a time limit within which the claimant must comply, failing which the file shall be closed without prejudice to the claimant's right to submit the same claims at a later date in another Request.

5)

The Secretariat shall transmit a copy of the Request and the documents annexed thereto to the respondent for its Answer to the Request once the Secretariat has sufficient copies of the Request and the required filing fee.
