Constituting the arbitral tribunal

The constitution or appointment of an arbitral tribunal is typically the first step in an arbitration procedure. It is usually set in motion through the request for or notice of arbitration from the claimant to the respondent or to an arbitration institution. Depending on the applicable rules, the setting up of the tribunal may be handled by an arbitration institution, by the parties themselves or by a court.
