Summary/Abstract: The taking of evidence constitutes a crucial part of arbitration proceedings. National courts generally follow elaborate rules governing the evidence taking. However, there are no strict rules of evidence in arbitration. Most modern arbitration statutes and arbitration rules now include a provision giving the parties freedom to lay down the rules for the taking of evidence. Failing such agreement, the provision grants the arbitral tribunal a wide discretion to determine all procedural matters.
