Karakorum International Arbitration Centre

Procedure · Expedited track

A calendar you can hold us to

Every deadline below is written into the Rules and tracked by the system. Both parties receive identical rights and identical time.

Day0

Claim filedClaimant

Written in your own words — the system formalises it and asks you to confirm. No lawyer required.

Day2

Jurisdiction reviewCentre · AI

The claim and arbitration clause are tested against 14,034 legal sources. The registrar confirms admissibility.

Day3

Notice to respondentRegistrar

Formal notice with a secure access link, recorded in the case file — the foundation of enforceability.

Day17

Statement of defenceRespondent

Fourteen days to answer, with the same rights and the same tools as the claimant.

Day27

Confidential negotiationBoth parties

Sealed offers, never shown to the other side. If the offers cross, the case settles at the midpoint — instantly.

Day29

Settlement proposalCentre · AI

A reasoned, numbered proposal on the table. Declining carries no penalty of any kind.

Day34

Draft awardCentre · AI

Every exhibit analysed, every citation verified against the record — or automatically struck out.

Day45

Award signedHuman arbitrator

A named arbitrator reviews the draft line by line, decides on their own judgment, and signs. Thirty days to appeal.

Schedule of fees

Known in advance. Flat. Final.

One fee covers filing, preparation, the human arbitrator and the award. Compare: on a one-million-dollar dispute, traditional arbitration averages 660 days and over $300,000 in costs.

Amount in dispute	Fee
up to $5,000	$300
up to $10,000	$500
up to $25,000	$1,200
up to $50,000	$2,500
over $50,000	Standard track — on request

Fees are payable on filing. If the case settles through negotiation before the decision stage, half of the fee above $300 is returned.

Why the award stands

Fairness, demanded by the architecture

Not a promise on a page — four locks built into the system itself. This is why an award of this Centre survives challenge before any national court.

Lock I

Verified citations only

The system may cite only from its record of 14,034 legal documents. A citation that cannot be traced to a source is stripped out automatically — invented authority is technically impossible.

Lock II

A human signs every award

AI prepares; it never decides. A named human arbitrator reviews every line, forms their own judgment, and signs. Parties never see an unsigned draft.

Lock III

The due-process gate

Signature is blocked until the checklist passes: proper notice given, time to respond honoured, both sides heard on equal terms. No exceptions without written reasons.

Lock IV

The Article V scan

Before signature, every draft award is tested against all seven refusal grounds of the New York Convention — the same grounds a resisting party would raise in court.

Instruments

Two documents to start with

The Rules tell you how a case runs; the model clause puts this Centre into your next contract. Both take minutes to read, not days.

Provisional Rules · v1.0

Rules of the Expedited Track

Sixteen articles governing scope, fees, deadlines, the use of AI, the arbitrator's signature and appeal — in English and Mongolian. Short enough to read before your coffee cools.
