The newly revised United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Arbitration Rules came into force on August 15, 2010. The main aim of the revision was to rejuvenate the Rules so that they catch up with the dynamic changes in arbitration practice. This article analyses the revised Rules from the perspective of electronic disclosure, focusing on changes aiming at, inter alia, fighting delays and growing costs of the arbitration process, supporting early cooperation of the parties or limiting the possibility of U.S.-style discovery.
