These Procedures have been adopted by the Council of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) for use by parties who seek the formality and convenience of an administered arbitration while maintaining the flexibility afforded by the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (Rules) and supersede HKIAC’s previous procedures. For the avoidance of doubt these procedures do not supersede the HKIAC Securities Arbitration Rules. These Procedures may be adopted in an arbitration agreement or by agreement in writing at any time before or after a dispute has arisen.
