1. Subject to these Rules, the arbitral tribunal may conduct the arbitration in such manner as it considers appropriate, provided that the parties are treated with equality and that at an appropriate stage of the proceedings each party is given a reasonable opportunity of presenting its case. The arbitral tribunal, in exercising its discretion, shall conduct the proceedings so as to avoid unnecessary delay and expense and to provide a fair and efficient process for resolving the parties dispute.

2. As soon as practicable after its constitution and after inviting the parties to express their views, the arbitral tribunal shall establish the provisional timetable of the arbitration. The arbitral tribunal may, at any time, after inviting the parties to express their views, extend or abridge any period of time prescribed under these Rules or agreed by the parties.

3. If at an appropriate stage of the proceedings any party so requests, the arbitral tribunal shall hold hearings for the presentation of evidence by witnesses, including expert witnesses, or for oral argument. In the absence of such a request, the arbitral tribunal shall decide whether to hold such hearings or whether the proceedings shall be conducted on the basis of documents and other materials.

4. All communications to the arbitral tribunal by one party shall be communicated by that party to all other parties. Such communications shall be made at the same time, except as otherwise permitted by the arbitral tribunal if it may do so under applicable law.

仲裁程序

1. 在不违反本《规则》的情况下，仲裁庭可以其认为适当的方式进行仲裁，但须平等对待各方当事人，并在仲裁程序适当阶段给予每一方当事人陈述案情的合理机会。仲裁庭行使裁量权时，程序的进行应避免不必要的延迟和费用，并为解决当事人争议提供公平有效的程序。

2. 仲裁庭一经组成，在请各方当事人发表意见后，仲裁庭即应根据实际情况尽快确定仲裁临时时间表。任何期间，不论是本《规则》规定的还是当事人约定的，仲裁庭均可在请各方当事人发表意见后随时予以延长或缩短。

3. 如有任何一方当事人在仲裁程序的适当阶段请求开庭审理，仲裁庭应开庭审理，由证人包括专家证人出示证据或进行口头辩论。未提出此种请求的，仲裁庭应决定是进行开庭审理，还是根据书面文件和其他资料进行此程序。

4. 一方当事人应将其提交仲裁庭的所有函件发送其他各方当事人。除仲裁庭可以根据适用法另外允许的情形外，所有此类函件应同时发送。

仲栽(Arbitration)

仲裁一般是当事人根据他们至今订立的仲裁协议，自愿将其争议提交由非官方身份的仲裁员组成的仲裁庭进行裁判，并受该裁判约束的一种制度。仲裁活动和法院的审判活动一样，关乎当事人的实体权益，是解决民事争议的方式之一。
