Arbitration Overview

Arbitration under the auspices of Jamaica International Arbitration Centre Limited (JAIAC) begins with the agreement of two (2) or more parties for the reference to an arbitration proceeding under the JAIAC Arbitration Rules.

The JAIAC Arbitration Rules offers a comprehensive procedural process upon which parties may agree for the conduct of arbitral proceedings arising out of their commercial relationship. It adopts the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (as revised in 2013).

The JAIAC Arbitration Rules cover all aspects of the arbitral process, providing a model arbitration clause, setting out procedural rules regarding the appointment of arbitrators and the conduct of arbitral proceedings, and establishing rules in relation to the form, effect and interpretation of the award.
