Introduction
SCC has a leading role among the arbitration institutions. In
2021, SCC received 165 new cases involving parties from 42
different countries. SCC is seen as an innovative arbitration
institute in forefront of the development, as illustrated by the
SCC Platform and the SCC Express.

remains the same and thereby confirm that parties have agreed to
accept future changes to the rules if not otherwise agreed. Hence,
the revised rules will apply to cases
