CIArb Costs of International Arbitration Survey 2011

What type of arbitration was it?
As illustrated in Chart 5, nearly two
out of every three arbitral proceedings
were administered by an institution.
The remainder were ad hoc. Of
those which were institutionally administered,
the ICC was the most
popular choice, followed by the
LCIA. In addition to the LMAA, AAA
and SCC, over fifteen institutions
were identified by survey respondents,
of which DIAC and SIAC were
mentioned most.
Costs: institutional vs ad hoc
Based on the sample sizes provided
by survey participants, it was not
possible to make statistically significant
observations about whether
institutional arbitration is less expensive
than ad hoc arbitration or
whether arbitrations administered by
one institution were more expensive
than those administered by another.
Consequently, cost results are for all
arbitrations reported by survey participants
as a whole.
The ICC was the most popular choice
for institutional arbitration.
