Can I apply for an expedited SIAC arbitration if proceedings have already commenced?

Can I apply for an expedited SIAC arbitration if proceedings have already commenced? Applying for expedited SIAC arbitration If you have already started a SIAC arbitration on behalf of a client, you can apply for an expedited procedure under r 5 of the SIAC Rules as long as the tribunal has not yet been constituted. However, the expedited procedure will only be applied where: • the sum in dispute (aggregate of the claim, counterclaim and any set off) does not exceed the equivalent of S$ 5 million (approximately, £2.5 million), or • the parties agree, or • there is exceptional urgency Therefore, the question of whether you can apply for an expedited SIAC arbitration will depend upon whether the circumstances of your case satisfy any one of these three criteria. For more information, see Practice Note: SIAC (2013)—commencing arbitration [Archived]—Expedited procedure under rule 5.

If the arbitration agreement is silent on which version of the rules will apply, then the latest version in force at the time of commencement of the arbitration will govern the conduct of the
