TRIBUNAL DISCRETION TO GO
INQUISITORIAL AND ITS
LIMITATION
Accordingly, in agreement based
arbitration, one of the matters that should
be taken-up during the preliminary
conference is whether or to what extent
the tribunal should take the initiative in
ascertaining the facts and the law.

INQUISITORIAL CHARACTERISTICS
OF CIAC ARBITRATION
CIAC RULES
In CIAC, the rule is arbitral discretion re
procedure.
Sec. 13.5. The arbitral tribunal xxx shall have
complete control over the proceedings.
(Parties have only such leeway that the
tribunal would allow them.)
So, given the strict time lines, it is adviseable,
almost mandatory given other CIAC rules, to
go inquisitorial in CIAC Arbitration.
LIMITATIONS TO THE
EXERCISE OF ARBITRAL
DISCRETION
INADVERTENT
LIMITATION?
CIAC Rules Sec. 13.7. Examination by the
Arbitral Tribunal. The Arbitral Tribunal may
ask clarificatory questions of the witnesses at
any stage of the proceedings.
Comment: In inquisitorial proceedings, the
deciding authority generates its own
evidence. Therefore, it is not limited to asking
clarificatory questions only.
Note: See Sec. 9 of old Rules.
