The composition of the Arbitral Tribunal
An arbitral tribunal af tre medlemmer, dvs. en juridisk dommer og to faglige dommere, men den kan også bestå af henholdsvis fem medlemmer eller af bare ét medlem. I forenklet voldgift kan parterne vælge 2 dommere. Hvis den voldgiftsret, som Voldgiftsnævnet nedsætter, består af mere end ét medlem, vil formanden blive udpeget blandt præsidiets medlemmer og suppleanterne, dvs. at den pågældende er juridisk dommer. Den juridiske dommer udpeges af Præsidiets formand. If a case is to be heard by one arbitrator only, the arbitrator may be either a legal or a technical arbitrator. The expert judges are appointed by the Arbitration Board based on the specific area of expertise related to the dispute. This applies whether one or two expert judges are appointed for a three-member or five-member tribunal. In selecting the expert judges, factors such as professional competence, experience, and the key issues of the case are taken into consideration.
Special circumstances
In special cases, the chair of the Presidium may appoint one or more current or former judges from the Supreme Court or the High Courts, or other legal professionals who meet the requirements to be appointed as judges, to participate in the handling of individual arbitration cases. The chair will also decide who should serve as the chair of the arbitral tribunal in such cases.
The chair of the Presidium has issued guidelines to the Secretariat concerning the procedures to be followed when appointing legal arbitrators for arbitral tribunals, including guidelines for Secretariat recommendations for appointment
In large-scale or principal cases, a Supreme Court judge is often appointed as the chair of the arbitral tribunal.
When a High Court judge is appointed as the chair of an arbitral tribunal, a judge from either the Eastern or Western High Court is generally chosen, depending on the location of the subject matter of the case—i.e., within the jurisdiction of the Eastern or Western High Court. However, for the sake of case efficiency, appointments may be made independently of the High Court jurisdictions.
