ACICA Rules Revision Public Consultation 2026

We are pleased to announce the commencement of a public consultation process for the proposed new ACICA Arbitration Rules.  This consultation follows extensive work undertaken by the ACICA Rules Committee to consider recent developments in international arbitration practice and procedure.

The ACICA Arbitration Rules and ACICA Expedited Arbitration Rules were last revised in 2021 and came into effect on 1 April 2021 as the ACICA Arbitration Rules 2021 and ACICA Expedited Rules 2021. The proposed amendments are aimed at building on ACICA’s established practice of providing a just, efficient, timely and cost-effective arbitral process.

ACICA also welcomes written until 18 May 2026 at secretariat@acica.org.au. Alternatively, a short survey has been created to allow respondents to provide their comments on each of the key proposed amendments quickly and easily. To take the survey, please click the link below.

We thank all respondents for their time and effort in providing your very useful feedback.
