This article reports on the discussions led at the Colloquium of Young Arbitrators held in Paris on 22 January 2007. Those discussions focused on three main issues in the light of the ICC practice, namely the joinder of third parties to an arbitral proceeding, the consolidation of arbitration proceedings, and the issue of awards by consent. This Colloquium allowed the ICC to present its position and experience as to those questions. It also encouraged the participants to express their expectations on the evolution of such position. Lastly, it gave them the opportunity to consider the rules of conduct designed to help arbitrators facing delicate situations raised by complex arbitrations and the issue of consent awards.
