Associated legal terms
Appointing authority
An authority, usually an arbitral institution or organisation (or employee/officer thereof), chosen by the parties and/or under the applicable arbitration rules to appoint an arbitrator(s). The authority may also be called upon to determine any challenges to arbitrators.
Chair
The person appointed as presiding member of an arbitral tribunal. The chair is usually chosen by party agreement, an arbitral institution, by the other (usually, two) arbitrators, or any appointing authority. The chair, usually, manages arbitral process, has a casting vote, and may be empowered to make procedural decisions alone.
Emergency arbitrator
An arbitrator appointed, generally, by an arbitral institution on an urgent basis to deal with an application for emergency interim relief before the constitution of the tribunal. Expedited formation of the tribunal, where available, may be an effective way, in some circumstances, of achieving the same result.
