These rules have been revised to accord with the provisions of the Arbitration Act, No. 4 of 1995 (as amended from time to time) and are primarily applicable to non-administered or noninstitutional arbitration within the jurisdiction of the Republic of Kenya.
Where an agreement, submission or reference provides for arbitration under the rules of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (Kenya Branch) or where the parties so agree the arbitration shall (unless and to the extent otherwise agreed by the parties) be conducted in accordance with the following Rules, or such amended Rules as the Branch has adopted to take effect before the commencement of the arbitration.
These Rules shall govern the arbitration except, where any of these Rules are in conflict with the provision of the Act or any other law applicable to the arbitration from which the parties cannot derogate, that provision shall prevail. The Rules include the schedules herein or as shall be in effect at the commencement of the arbitration, where separately amended from time to time by the Branch.
