How a reference runs
From agreement to enforcement
Nine stages, each with what happens, the time it allows and what you do, as claimant or respondent. Use the arrow keys to move between stages.
Stage 1 of 9
The arbitration agreement
S. 7
Jurisdiction rests on a written agreement to arbitrate: a clause in the contract naming the Institute, or a submission agreement made after the dispute arises.
Check that your contract refers disputes to SAMYA. If it does not, the parties may still agree to refer this dispute.
