Locke Lord QuickStudy: ICDR Launches Rules Update
The revised rules of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution® (ICDR) of the American Arbitration Association® (AAA®) go into effect on 1 March 2021. These revisions are the result of a comprehensive year-long review of the ICDR Dispute Resolution Procedures (including the Mediation and Arbitration Rules) and the culmination of the combined efforts of the ICDR management and administrative teams and an ICDR Committee, led by Locke Lord’s International Partner, Ann Ryan Robertson C.Arb FCIArb. The revised rules are designed to meet the ever-changing dispute resolution landscape, including the rise of third-party funding, the duty to discuss cybersecurity, privacy and data protection in both mediation and arbitration proceedings, the delegation of arbitrability, the enactment of the Singapore Convention, and the omnipresent specter of COVID-19 with the concomitant use of video communications. An article co-authored by Ann and detailing these significant changes can be accessed here.
