Where there is no agreement for ADR
To file a Request for ADR (“Request”) where there is an agreement for ADR (either a pre-existing clause in the applicable contract, or by subsequent agreement of the parties), you must follow the provisions of Article 2(A) of the ADR Rules.
Accordingly, the Request should include:
the names, addresses, telephone and facsimile numbers and e-mail addresses of the parties to the dispute and their authorized representatives, if any;
b)a description of the dispute including, if possible, an assessment of its value;
c) if possible, any proposal regarding the qualifications of a Neutral or any proposal of one or more Neutrals to be designated by all of the parties;
d) the registration fee of the ADR proceedings, as set out in the Appendix to the ICC ADR Rules, amounting to US$ 1,500.
The Request shall be in writing, and may be submitted electronically by e-mail or fax, provided a hardcopy is also provided.
The Request shall not be considered complete until the registration fee is received by ICC. Upon receipt of the Request and Registration fee, ICC shall promptly inform the other party or parties in writing of the Request. The other party or parties shall have 15 days of receipt of the Request to inform ICC in writing if they agree or decline to participate in the ADR proceeding. In the absence of a reply within the 15-day period, or in the case of a negative reply, the Request shall be deemed to have been declined and the ADR proceeding shall not be commenced pursuant to Article 2(B) of the ADR Rules. The ADR proceeding shall be deemed to be commenced upon the acceptance of the other party or parties to participate in the ADR proceeding.
If the Request is not filed jointly by all of the parties, the party or parties filing the Request must simultaneously send the Request to the other party or parties and to:
