The new Mediation Rules have been adapted to help parties resolve even the most complex cross-border disputes quickly and reliably. Changes include the setting of mediation as the default technique, as well as increased support from the ICC International Centre for ADR, the only body permitted to administer the new Mediation Rules. Hannah Tümpel, Senior Counsel and Manager, ICC International Centre for ADR 11:30 12:00 Coffee Break 12:00 13:00 Controlling time & costs in international arbitration The increasing and occasionally unnecessary complication of arbitration proceedings is often considered to be the main explanation for the long duration and high cost of many international arbitrations. This session will present ways in which arbitration practitioners may tackle this challenge, and also explain how the techniques suggested by the ICC Rules can assist arbitral tribunals, parties and their counsel in devising tailor-made procedures.
