The China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission has suspended the hearing of cases at its Shenzhen and Shanghai sub-commissions

CIETAC announced in a statement on its website on August 1: “CIETAC's authorisation to the CIETAC Shanghai Sub-Commission and the CIETAC South China Sub-Commission for accepting and administering arbitration cases is hereby suspended.”

    This is the latest development in a disagreement that has cast a shadow over dispute resolution arbitration in China. In March, CIETAC released amended arbitration Rules that became effective on May 1.
