Control of the independence of the arbitrators

Parties can request CAM to control the independence of the arbitrator. In these cases, CAM collects the arbitrator’s statement of independence and impartiality and forwards it to the parties.
The parties, within the time limit set by CAM, can submit observations on the statement or challenge the arbitrator.
After having possibly heard the other parties and the arbitrator on the observations or the challenge, the Arbitral Council decides on the independence of the arbitrator and informs the parties.
The decision of the Arbitral Council is final and binding upon the parties.
