ICC Institute Advanced Training on Complex Arbitrations: Focus on Procedural Issues
Programme
This training offers a comprehensive examination of procedural issues arising in arbitrations involving multiple contracts, multiple claims, and multiple parties.
Building on the Institute’s original training on complex arbitrations, which were first delivered in Miami in 2022, this revamped programme has been specifically tailored to focus on procedural aspects, using the original mock case as basis for working group discussion. It also covers procedural issues related to parallel proceedings and res judicata in international arbitration, as well as core issues related to multi-party disputes.
The training will feature practical sessions designed to equip participants with effective tools for managing complex cases in a streamlined and cost-efficient manner. In addition, some key topics will include res judicata in international arbitration, procedural and practical considerations for consolidation and joinder under the ICC Arbitration Rules, and strategies for addressing the challenges posed by parallel proceedings. The programme also provides an in-depth analysis of the constitution of the arbitral tribunal in complex, multi-party disputes.
Participants will benefit from interactive case-based workshops and will have the opportunity to engage in discussions on emerging trends in international arbitration, with a particular focus on procedural issues in complex arbitrations.
Please note that the original mock case from the 2022 Miami ICC Institute training on Complex Arbitrations will be used for the working group discussions.

09.10 – 09.40: Complex arbitration: What this means in terms of procedure?
Businesses today are more complex than ever, often involving multiple parties, different but related contracts, and cross-jurisdictional considerations. When a dispute arises, parties are faced with different choices as to which arbitration agreements to invoke, who to involve as parties to a prospective arbitration, and whether a non-signatory to the arbitration agreement should be brought into the arbitration. This session will discuss the particular issues that arise in arbitrations involving multiple contracts and multiple parties, and the tools available for managing disputes with claims, cross-claims and counterclaims in a streamlined and cost-efficient manner.
09.40 – 10.00: Q&A
10.00 – 10.30: Consolidation & joinder under the ICC Rules
Institutional arbitration rules have been particularly innovative when addressing the unique challenges raised in disputes involving multiple parties and multiple contracts. The ICC first introduced joinder and consolidation provisions into the ICC Arbitration Rules in 2012. These provisions were enhanced in the 2021 ICC Arbitration Rules, in order to address rising demand effective management of complex and sophisticated international disputes involving multiple parties and contracts. Representatives from the ICC Court will share their insights on how the ICC Court assesses applications for consolidation and joinder under the ICC Arbitration Rules, and highlight considerations for parties when deciding whether to make such applications to the ICC Court.

13.50 – 14.20: Parallel proceedings
When the same dispute, or closely related disputes, are pursued in different fora (such as separate arbitrations, or in court and in arbitration), it raises the risk of conflicting decisions, and can consequently impact the success of any enforcement proceedings. This session considers the problems posed by parallel proceedings, what can be done to mitigate or avoid the problems that can arise.
14.20 – 14.30: Q&A
14.30 – 14.50: Res judicata in international arbitration
