ABSTRACT
This article examines the rules on multi-party proceedings and consolidation
under the International Arbitration Rules of the Korean Commercial Arbitration
Board 2016 (KCAB), the Rules of Arbitration of the Vienna International
Arbitral Centre 2018 (VIAC), the Rules of Arbitration of the Australian Centre
for International Commercial Arbitration 2021 (ACICA), the Arbitration Rules
of the Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration 2019 (NCIA) and the
Arbitration Rules of the Bahrain Chamber for Dispute Resolution 2017 (BCDR).
It analyses (i) the conditions for the joinder of multiple parties, and consolidation
of multiple arbitrations, under these arbitration rules, (ii) who the decision-
maker of such requests is, and (iii) the procedure for the constitution of arbitral
tribunals in such cases. The article takes a comparative approach, and seeks to
note the clear differences between the provisions of these arbitration rules,
but also to identify similarities and overarching procedural trends across the
different sets of arbitration rules.
