The LCIA announced yesterday that it is introducing a package of
updates. The updates include a revised Schedule of Costs and
revised terms and conditions, both of which will come into effect
on 1 December 2023. The LCIA has also updated its policy on receipt
of funds, and published an updated Guidance Note for Parties and
Arbitrators, which integrates the LCIA's previous three
Guidance Notes and is intended to provide some "best
practice" guidance on the application of the 2020 rules in
practice.
