A model appointing authority clause is available here.
The appointing process will follow the procedure agreed-upon by the parties. In the absence of the parties’ agreement, CAA will determine the procedure[1].
A request that CAA exercise the powers of an Appointing Authority may be emailed to arbitration@adr.ca accompanied by:
- a copy of the clause, agreement, or other instrument establishing the designation of CAA as Appointing Authority;
- a copy of the notice of arbitration served upon the respondent and the date of service;
- copies of any lists of potential arbitrators exchanged by the parties; and
- payment of the non-refundable appointing authority fee of $1,130.00 ($1,000.00 plus HST).
[1] For example, CAA’s Appointing Committee may create a list of potential arbitrators and ask the parties to strike any unacceptable names and rank the remaining names preferentially.
