How to commence expedited arbitration with the SCC

Arbitration begins by the claimant submitting a request for arbitration to the SCC. This request for arbitration represents the statement of claim. At the same time, the claimant must also pay a registration fee. 

The request for arbitration must include: 

1. the names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses of the parties and their representatives 
2. specific relief sought including an estimated monetary value of the claims 
3. the factual and legal basis relied on 
4. the evidence relied on 
5. a copy or description of the arbitration agreement or arbitration clause to be relied on 
6. the arbitration agreement on which each claim for relief is based (if there is more than one) 
7. views on the seat of arbitration.  

At the SCC, we process all documents digitally. Submit the request for arbitration here.
