Procedural rules in digitised arbitration & mediation
Parties adopt institutional rulebooks (e.g., SIAC, ICC, ICA, UNCITRAL) or bespoke charters. BharatNyay encodes timelines, pleadings uploads, arbitrator challenges, confidentiality, interim relief interplay, and tribunal secretary roles so software mirrors the rule narrative — not substitutes it.
What “procedural rules” govern on-platform activity?
- Commencement & joinder: request for arbitration, claimant roster, ancillary parties, consolidating related facilities.
- Seat & language: defaults from your contractual clause repository; deviations recorded with tribunal leave.
- Evidence & discovery: document production calendars, objections, supplemental bundles before hearing weeks.
- Virtual hearings etiquette: oath, recording disclosure, interpreters, caucus blackout windows.
- Costs & deposits: advance on arbitrator fees — surfaced for finance sign-off workflows.
- Settlement homologation: mediated minutes converted to consent awards with registrar reminders.
Deploy with issuer counsel approving the governing rules text; configure BharatNyay to flag breaches of internal SLAs referencing those rules.
