Commitment to Transparency, Efficiency and Innovation
HKIAC is pleased to announce free access to HKIAC Case Digest from 1 July 2025 and a new partnership with Jus Mundi.
HKIAC Case Digest is a searchable database of anonymised and summarised procedural decisions taken by HKIAC under various procedural rules. It launched in 2021 and won the GAR award for Best Innovation by an Individual or Organisation in 2022.
The Case Digest database is a valuable tool that offers users insight into HKIAC’s procedural decision-making, including the analysis of HKIAC’s Standing Committees—the Proceedings Committee and the Appointments Committee—of different procedural issues.
The HKIAC Proceedings Committee decides challenges to arbitrators and exercises all other powers vested in HKIAC to the extent that such powers are not exercised by the Appointments Committee or the Secretariat. In 2024, the Proceedings Committee made 67 determinations including in relation to HKIAC’s prima facie power to proceed in light of unclear clauses, against non-signatories, in single arbitrations filed under multiple contracts as well as applications for consolidation, joinder, and applicability of the expedited procedure.
The HKIAC Appointments Committee decides the appointment and confirmation of arbitrators, determines the number of arbitrators and fixes the costs of the arbitration. In 2024, HKIAC made 199 arbitrator appointments, and 220 arbitrator confirmations based on party or co-arbitrator designations.
2024 was a record breaking year for HKIAC with 352 new filings from 510 contracts, representing the highest number of new arbitration filings being made in any one year to date, and a record amount in dispute of US$13.6 billion.
New Partnership with Jus Mundi
HKIAC is delighted to announce a new partnership with Jus Mundi that facilitates the use of their Jus AI capabilities to prepare the case abstracts that will be freely accessible on both Case Digest and the Jus Mundi platform.
As part of the cooperation, HKIAC’s procedural decisions will be summarised using Jus Mundi’s powerful and secure Jus AI technology. This approach ensures the consistent production of high-quality Case Digests. By streamlining the creation process, Jus AI enables the Case Digest to be delivered to users around the world in a timely and reliable manner.
Joanne Lau, HKIAC Secretary-General, says “Over the past 40 years, HKIAC has developed an important body of procedural decision-making, and making this information freely accessible to the market will ultimately help guide users and improve overall efficiency and transparency. Our collaboration with Jus Mundi further demonstrates HKIAC’s commitment to innovation and we are excited about the use of GenAI to enhance the efficiency of information sharing.”
Jean-Rémi de Maistre, CEO & Co-founder of Jus Mundi, says: “Our new collaboration with HKIAC showcases how GenAI can enhance access to legal knowledge. We’re proud to support HKIAC’s commitment to transparency and innovation by powering their Case Digest with our Jus-AI technology—making key procedural insights more accessible to the arbitration community and setting a new standard for how legal information is shared and understood.”
