Argues that choice of arbitrator can be a critical factor in reducing the time and cost of arbitration proceedings. Research by the author has revealed that although a number of procedures exist for streamlining the process, less than half the arbitrators questioned adopted fast-track timetables and written submissions, and more than a third never dispensed with formal pleadings. The parties should therefore give considerable thought to the procedures they wish to adopt, and ensure that the arbitrator they consider appointing is familiar with, and prepared to use, them.
