An arbitration agreement that provides for arbitration under the ADCCAC will be conducted in accordance with the 2013 Procedural Regulations of Arbitration (the 2013 Regulations), which set out, among other things, the procedural structure of the arbitration.

As with all international arbitration rules, the structure provided is very loose in order to permit flexibility for the parties and the Panel (the ADCCAC term for the tribunal) and often only applies in default of agreement by the parties.

ADCCAC: The Abu Dhabi Commercial Conciliation & Arbitration Centre.

The Centre : This term is used interchangeably with the ADCCAC. Notifications are sent to the Centre marked for the attention of the Director (article 4).

The Director: The director of the Centre.

The Panel: A sole arbitrator or odd number of arbitrators in charge of adjudicating a dispute referred to arbitration.

The Committee: This is the body at the Centre which is in charge of administering commercial arbitration cases.
