Pesky rules lol hope its not too many words
Impartiality of leading protocols, such as those from the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) and the Singapore International Mediation Centre (SIMC), typically require the arbitrator and mediator to be different people to prevent confidential mediation discussions from biasing the arbitrator.
How the Arb-Med-Arb Process Works
The sequence typically follows three distinct stages
Initial Arbitration: The dispute is formally submitted to arbitration. This establishes the legal framework and ensures the parties have formulated their positions through initial pleadings.
Mediation Window: Once the arbitration is commenced, the proceedings are stayed. The parties then attempt to settle the dispute with a mediator.
Final Resolution,If successful, The settlement reached in mediation is recorded by the arbitral tribunal as a consent award, making it as enforceable as a standard court-backed arbitral award
If unsuccessful, The stay is lifted, and the original arbitration resumes to result in a final, binding award from the tribunal.
