The Board of Directors of the Abu Dhabi Global Market issued this consultation paper to invite public comment on proposed amendments to the ADGM Arbitration Regulations 2015. The proposed changes aim to modernize the regulatory framework by introducing mandatory provisions, clarifying arbitration agreement scopes, and expanding court powers for interim measures in non-ADGM seated arbitrations. Key innovations include mandating third-party funding disclosures, enabling summary disposal of claims, regulating party representative conduct, and promoting the use of technology throughout the arbitral process.
