The ICCA Reports No. 2: ICCA Drafting Sourcebook for Logistical Matters in Procedural Orders

The ICCA Drafting Sourcebook for Logistical Matters in Procedural Orders is a collection of draft clauses that we invite you to consider, copy or adapt for use in your arbitral proceedings. Prepared by a Drafting Committee of ICCA members, the ICCA Sourcebook is our attempt to make the language of procedural orders available to a wider audience. The ICCA Sourcebook covers only logistical issues: matters that tend not to be addressed by arbitration rules and laws. It is not a best practices guide - instead we hope you will find it a helpful starting point for your own drafting. The ICCA Checklist: First Procedural Order, which accompanies this report, is a checklist of issues to consider including in a first procedural order in arbitration.

Ten years after the publication of the original ICCA Drafting Sourcebook for Logistical Matters in Procedural Orders and Checklist: First Procedural Order, the Drafting Committee has reconvened to prepare an update to this ICCA project to reflect changes in the treatment of logistical matters in arbitral proceedings since 2015. 

The Kigali Special Edition 2025 covers several new topics, such as artificial intelligence, disability accommodation, remote hearings, electronic case management platforms and publication of awards. The Drafting Sourcebook also includes an updated Annex - Useful Resources for further reading. 

The Kigali Special Edition 2025 of the ICCA Drafting Sourcebook is meant to be a living document and will be opened for comments from the general ICCA Membership in the coming months.
