UNCITRAL Model Clauses on Specialised Express Dispute Resolution (SPEDR)

The UNCITRAL Model Clauses on Specialized Express Dispute Resolution (SPEDR) (2024) (the “Model Clauses”) have been developed and adopted by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law. The Model Clauses, accompanied by explanatory notes, offer customized solutions designed to be adapted and adjusted to suit the particular circumstances and preferences of the parties, building on the UNCITRAL Expedited Arbitration Rules. Designed as a resource for businesses and practitioners engaging in international dispute resolution, especially when speed and technical expertise are crucial factors, the Model Clauses provide parties with tailored means to settle disputes in an expeditious manner, ensuring the integrity and effectiveness of their dispute resolution processes, while catering for their unique needs.

The Four Model Clauses presented are:

• Model Clause on Highly Expedited Arbitration
• Model Clause on Adjudication
• Model Clause on Technical Advisers
• Model Clause on Confidentiality
