GENERAL

PROCEDURE
5. The procedure set out in the preceding paragraphs of this section is also applicable to counterclaims. The “Arbitration Notice” should clearly indicate that it is submitted as a counterclaim and the original arbitration case to which it pertains shall be plainly identified. Unless a counterclaim is filed by a respondent and heard with the original arbitration case, the respondent with the counterclaim is thereafter precluded from pursuing its claim against the adverse reparation obligor.
