Section 23
Statements of Claim and Defence
(1) Within the period of time agreed upon by
the parties or determined by the arbitral tribunal, the claimant shall state
the facts supporting his claim, the points at issue and the relief or remedy
sought, and the respondent shall state his defense in respect of these
particulars, unless the parties have otherwise agreed as to the required elements
of those statements.
(2) The parties may submit with their
statements all documents they consider to be relevant or may add a reference to
the documents or other evidence they will submit.
(3) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties,
either party may amend or supplement his claim or defense during the course of
the arbitral proceedings, unless the arbitral tribunal considers it
inappropriate to allow the amendment or supplement having regard to the delay
in making it.
