This Practice Note only covers arbitration under the CIETAC Arbitration Rules 2024 (CIETAC Rules), which, generally, apply to arbitrations accepted by CIETAC on or after 1 January 2024 or where parties have agreed to adopt the CIETAC Arbitration Rules 2024 (CIETAC, art 88). The 2015 arbitration rules shall remain applicable to any arbitrations accepted by CIETAC between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2023. For guidance on arbitration under the CIETAC Rules 2012, see: CIETAC arbitration—overview.

This Practice Note applies to international or foreign related disputes or disputes related to Hong Kong SAR or Macao SAR or the Taiwan region (CIETAC, art 3). CIETAC has separate provisions for summary arbitration (see Practice Note: CIETAC (2024)—summary procedure (and early dismissal)) and domestic arbitration; these are not covered in this Practice Note. There are also separate provisions for arbitrations by the CIETAC Hong Kong Arbitration Center (CIETAC, art 76) which are not covered by this Practice Note.

Unlike most other sets of institutional arbitration rules, the CIETAC Rules 2024 do not provide for the parties to nominate
