The China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) Hong Kong Arbitration Centre (HKAC) has concluded several cases since CIETAC’s new Arbitration Rules took effect from 1 January. This article discusses the features of HKAC arbitration and aims to share some of HKAC’s case experience.
Procedural rules
There are a number of questions frequently asked by practitioners before submitting a dispute before HKAC. What procedural rules apply? How are conflicts between the procedural laws and the Arbitration Rules handled? What kind of arbitral award is rendered in HKAC and how can it be enforced?

HKAC is CIETAC’s first subcommission based outside mainland jurisdiction. CIETAC’s Arbitration Rules apply to the cases it administers.
