February 2015
The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) produced and published in August 2014 a set of international commercial Dispute Board rules. Although a variety of Dispute Board rules already existed, they only focused on the construction industry. In addition, some rules are drafted as an integral part of a standard form contract while others can be incorporated. The new CIArb rules can now be used on any medium- or long-term project, whether construction, IT, commercial or otherwise.
