Chamber International

Awards

The arbitrators or umpire may make one or more awards as they think fit, either at the same time or in such order as they think fit and whether or not there is more that one matter in dispute; and the arbitrators may make an award upon a matter upon which they are agreed after the umpire has entered upon the reference, or may leave the whole dispute to the umpire notwithstanding that they are agreed as to some part thereof.

Nothing in Rule 9(e) shall require the arbitrators or umpire to make more than one award as to costs, nor to specify in their award what part of any award of costs is made under that Rule.

When making an award in the form of a special case the arbitrators or umpire may:

  1. Give (either as part of the case or separately) a final award to take effect if the special case is not taken to the Court, or is not set down for hearing by the Court within a time specified in that final award.

  2. Make their award final if the Court reach a particular view of views of the question of law concerned, but such as to be an interim award only upon some other view or views of the law.

  3. Give (either as part of the case or separately) a final award upon any part of the dispute not raising the question of law concerned.

Any agreement for arbitration under these Rules which sets a time limit for the making of the award, or otherwise for the prosecution of the arbitration, shall (unless this Rule is excluded by that agreement) be deemed also to give to the Committee power to enlarge the times as it thinks fit.
