Separate award on Advance on Costs
One of the new features of the 2007 SCC Rules is that the Arbitral Tribunal may, at the request of a party, make a separate award for reimbursement of half of the Advance on Costs from a party who has failed to pay its share of the Advance on Costs. The first award made with reference to the new rule was given on 13 February 15, 2008 in an international case concerning a delivery agreement.

All time high!
Year 2007 the SCC set a new record with 170 new cases filed. The SCC maintains its position as one of the major international arbitration institutions and continues to have many East West disputes involving parties from former CIS countries. In 2007 there were also many disputes with Chinese parties. In addition to increased global trade, the SCC caseload may also depend on the new SCC Arbitration Rules that entered into force on 1 January 2007. The SCC Rules are considered to be a modern, effective and flexible set of rules among worldwide practitioners.
