This Practice Note considers the issues arising out of multi-party and/or multi-contract arbitration proceedings under the 2021 International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Rules of Arbitration (ICC Rules). These can involve joining additional parties by way of a request for the joinder of additional parties to arbitration proceedings made before or after the confirmation or Appointment of any arbitrator, making claims between multiple parties and/or against additional parties, making claims under more than one contract and/or multiple arbitration agreements, and the Consolidation of proceedings.

The 2021 ICC Rules apply to any ICC arbitrations commenced on or after 1 January 2021 unless the parties expressly agree that an earlier version of the ICC Rules will apply (eg, in the arbitration clause). For an introduction to the 2021 ICC Rules, see Practice Note: ICC (2021)—introduction to the ICC and arbitration under the ICC Rules.
