1) What, if anything, do the rules of the Arbitration Institute say about
choosing a third arbitrator?
Using the Google search engine (www.google.com),
enter the following search query:
Stockholm chamber of commerce
Find the following link on the first results
page: The SCC Institute - Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm
Chamber ... .
Clicking on the relevant link takes you
to the English version of the homepage of the Arbitration Institute's
web site. At the top of that page you will find a link to Rules. Clicking
on this link takes you to a page which offers you a choice of rules. Click
on the small English link below the rule to open the document you need
to find the answer to question 1.
Answer
The following summary has been adapted
from article 16 of the Rules of the Arbitration Institute of the
Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC):
i. The parties are free to choose
the number of arbitrators. If more than one arbitrator is appointed,
each party must appoint an equal number of arbitrators (e.g. two
per party).
ii. If one party does not appoint an arbitrator within the given
time limit, the SCC will appoint one for them.
iii. If the parties do not choose their own arbitrators the SCC
will appoint either one or three, depending on the complexity of
the case.
There are only two parties to this
contract, and each must appoint an equal number of arbitrators.
Therefore, as the arbitration clause in the contract stipulates
that there will be three arbitrators, the third arbitrator will
be appointed by the SCC.
