Blog post—Arbitration statistics 2023: rising caseloads and repeat appointments

Article summary

The LexisNexis Arbitration Blog has published its seventh annual survey of international arbitration statistics, written by James Clanchy, arbitrator in independent practice and member of the Lexis®PSL Arbitration Consulting Editorial Board. Clancy notes that in 2023 caseloads rose to their second highest and appointments of arbitrators to their highest levels in the eight years covered by the study. He welcomes the return of the International Chamber of Commerce’s (ICC) detailed statistical reports and he draws attention to the fact that the maritime and commodities sectors scarcely feature in the ICC’s caseload. He further acknowledges the growing demand for the ICC’s expedited procedure.
