Introduction

Party autonomy and flexibility are one of the bedrocks of international arbitration. With no set rules on how  proceedings are conducted, it is left to arbitrators to ensure that a well- organised approach is taken during arbitration proceedings. Procedural orders are one of the tools available to arbitrators to effectively manage proceedings and ensure that parties adhere to the agreed timeline.  Procedural orders address issues such as the timetable for pleadings, types of documents to be tendered and schedule of hearings, if any. Procedural orders are not designed to deal with substantive issues. However, they may become appealable when they become more than administrative tools. This article highlights the function of procedural orders and situations that may give rise to avoidable complexity.
