Cambodia established its first commercial arbitration centre, the National Commercial Arbitration Centre of Cambodia (“NCAC“) in 2006, which then commenced operations in 2013. As of December 2020, NCAC has received 25 cases under its first arbitration rules adopted in 2014 (“2014 Rules“).
In June 2021, NCAC amended the 2014 Rules. The new arbitration rules (“2021 Rules“) consist of 9 chapters and 74 articles. In this article, we highlight the key stages of arbitration proceedings under the 2021 Rules as follows:
- Commencement of arbitration;
- Interim stage;
- Hearings; and
- Issuance of arbitral award.
