Summary procedures in arbitration: making a long story short | Practical Law
It is sometimes said that summary procedures do not exist in international commercial arbitration. The absence of established mechanisms for the summary dismissal of unmeritorious claims and defences is often cited as one of the reasons why some users prefer to litigate their disputes. However, the landscape is changing, for example, the 2016 Singapore International Arbitration Centre Rules include an express provision for the early dismissal of claims and defences.
