Common questions about ICC & LCIA arbitration in Bangladesh
Understanding international arbitration can be complex. Here are answers to frequently asked questions about ICC and LCIA arbitration and how it applies in Bangladesh.
What is the role of the arbitral institution (ICC or LCIA)?
The arbitral institution (like ICC or LCIA) administers the arbitration process. This includes appointing arbitrators, managing fees, scrutinizing awards, and providing procedural rules. They do not decide the dispute itself, but ensure the process runs smoothly and fairly.
How long does an international arbitration typically take?
The duration of an international arbitration can vary significantly based on the complexity of the dispute, the number of parties, the efficiency of the tribunal, and the chosen rules. Generally, a typical arbitration can range from 18 months to 3 years from commencement to final award.
What are the costs involved in ICC or LCIA arbitration?
Costs typically include institutional administrative fees, arbitrators' fees, legal fees for counsel, and expert witness fees. ICC and LCIA have different fee structures, often based on the amount in dispute. We provide transparent cost estimates and discuss funding options with clients.
What is the impact of the Arbitration Act 2001 in Bangladesh on international arbitration?
The Arbitration Act 2001 is the primary legislation governing arbitration in Bangladesh. It incorporates principles from the UNCITRAL Model Law and facilitates the conduct of both domestic and international arbitrations. It also provides the framework for interim measures, challenges to awards, and their enforcement in Bangladesh.
