How can parties best ensure that they come to an agreement on the procedural rules of an ad hoc arbitration? Given the nature of ad hoc arbitration, it is unlikely that procedural rules can be applied without consent of the parties or the directions of the tribunal. Parties should agree on a detailed procedural order and potentially request that the tribunal issue detailed directions. Under what circumstances might you recommend that parties forgo ad hoc arbitration in favour of institutional arbitration? I personally believe that institutional arbitration is generally far more efficient than an ad hoc arbitration. Therefore, I would suggest that parties try to adopt institutional arbitration as much as possible, particularly for high-value cases. THOUGHT LEADER 99
