When parties can't agree on who should be the arbitrator (the independent person deciding the dispute), or if there are questions about the arbitrator's independence, someone needs to step in to help.\n\nThese regulations name ACICA as that \"someone\"—the official authority (called the \"prescribed authority\") that can:\n* Appoint arbitrators when parties disagree on who should hear their case\n* Rule on challenges to arbitrators regarding conflicts of interest\n* Handle other administrative functions under the *International Arbitration Act 1974*\n\nThis ensures there is a clear, recognized Australian body to keep international arbitration proceedings running smoothly when procedural disputes arise."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/international-arbitration-regulations-2011","history":"/api/acts/international-arbitration-regulations-2011/history","analysis":"/api/acts/international-arbitration-regulations-2011/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/international-arbitration-regulations-2011/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/international-arbitration-regulations-2011/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/international-arbitration-regulations-2011/documents"}}
