1. Subject to these Rules, the arbitral tribunal may conduct the arbitration in such manner as it considers appropriate, provided that the parties are treated with equality and that at an appropriate stage of the proceedings each party is given a reasonable opportunity of presenting its case. The arbitral tribunal, in exercising its discretion, shall conduct the proceedings so as to avoid unnecessary delay and expense and to provide a fair and efficient process for resolving the parties dispute.

2. As soon as practicable after its constitution and after inviting the parties to express their views, the arbitral tribunal shall establish the provisional timetable of the arbitration. The arbitral tribunal may, at any time, after inviting the parties to express their views, extend or abridge any period of time prescribed under these Rules or agreed by the parties.

3. If at an appropriate stage of the proceedings any party so requests, the arbitral tribunal shall hold hearings for the presentation of evidence by witnesses, including expert witnesses, or for oral argument. In the absence of such a request, the arbitral tribunal shall decide whether to hold such hearings or whether the proceedings shall be conducted on the basis of documents and other materials.

4. All communications to the arbitral tribunal by one party shall be communicated by that party to all other parties. Such communications shall be made at the same time, except as otherwise permitted by the arbitral tribunal if it may do so under applicable law.

仲裁程序

1. 在不違反本《規(guī)則》的情況下，仲裁庭可以其認(rèn)為適當(dāng)?shù)姆绞竭M(jìn)行仲裁，但須平等對待各方當(dāng)事人，并在仲裁程序適當(dāng)階段給予每一方當(dāng)事人陳述案情的合理機(jī)會。仲裁庭行使裁量權(quán)時(shí)，程序的進(jìn)行應(yīng)避免不必要的延遲和費(fèi)用，并為解決當(dāng)事人爭議提供公平有效的程序。

2. 仲裁庭一經(jīng)組成，在請各方當(dāng)事人發(fā)表意見后，仲裁庭即應(yīng)根據(jù)實(shí)際情況盡快確定仲裁臨時(shí)時(shí)間表。任何期間，不論是本《規(guī)則》規(guī)定的還是當(dāng)事人約定的，仲裁庭均可在請各方當(dāng)事人發(fā)表意見后隨時(shí)予以延長或縮短。

3. 如有任何一方當(dāng)事人在仲裁程序的適當(dāng)階段請求開庭審理，仲裁庭應(yīng)開庭審理，由證人包括專家證人出示證據(jù)或進(jìn)行口頭辯論。未提出此種請求的，仲裁庭應(yīng)決定是進(jìn)行開庭審理，還是根據(jù)書面文件和其他資料進(jìn)行此程序。

4. 一方當(dāng)事人應(yīng)將其提交仲裁庭的所有函件發(fā)送其他各方當(dāng)事人。除仲裁庭可以根據(jù)適用法另外允許的情形外，所有此類函件應(yīng)同時(shí)發(fā)送。

【知識小貼士】

仲栽(Arbitration)

仲裁一般是當(dāng)事人根據(jù)他們至今訂立的仲裁協(xié)議，自愿將其爭議提交由非官方身份的仲裁員組成的仲裁庭進(jìn)行裁判，并受該裁判約束的一種制度。仲裁活動和法院的審判活動一樣，關(guān)乎當(dāng)事人的實(shí)體權(quán)益，是解決民事爭議的方式之一。
