Furthermore, decisions with respect to challenge of an arbitrator shall be made by a committee comprising three members of the Arbitration Board.

Following requests made by the Director, Justice Oussama Ajouz, Doctor Walid El Kusbari and Justice Ann Seffraoui have accepted to act as Members of the Arbitration Board of IMAC. All three personalities are outstanding lawyers with wide experience in international arbitration. After consultation with the Secretary General of IMAC, they have been appointed as members of the Arbitration Board.

The acceptance by these personalities to act as Members of the Arbitration Board will undoubtedly enhance the integrity and independence of IMAC.


Use of IMAC Arbitration Rules
