The short answer is yes. No set of institutional rules prevents a party from abandoning claims it has raised in an arbitration. But there could be important implications to think through, depending on when the withdrawal occurs, and what else has occurred in the proceedings.
Settlement and Discontinuance (Arbitration Rule 55) At any time before the Award is rendered, parties may jointly request that the Tribunal discontinue the proceeding if they settle the dispute or for any other reason.
(1) The arbitral proceedings shall be terminated by the final arbitral award or by an order of the arbitral tribunal under sub-section (2). (c) the arbitral tribunal finds that the continuation of the proceedings has for any other reason become unnecessary or impossible.
In ICSID proceedings, a request for arbitration can be unilaterally withdrawn only before its registration. Once registered, the request for arbitration can no longer be withdrawn and a claimant seeking to withdraw from the proceedings will need to seek the “discontinuance” of the proceedings.
Once parties enter into an arbitration agreement, they are generally bound by its terms, including the commitment to resolve their dispute through the arbitration process. However, there are limited circumstances under which you might exit the arbitration or change the arbitrator.
Once registered, the request for arbitration can no longer be withdrawn and a claimant seeking to withdraw from the proceedings will need to seek the “discontinuance” of the proceedings. It should be noted the Additional Facility Rules do not contain an analogous provision.
Residents or their representatives have a 30-day right of rescission, i.e., they can cancel the arbitration agreement. The agreement must be explained to the resident or their representative in a form, manner and language that they understand, and they acknowledge that they understand the agreement.
Motions to Dismiss. (1) Motions to dismiss a claim prior to the conclusion of a party's case in chief are discouraged in arbitration. (2) Motions under this rule must be made in writing, and must be filed separately from the answer, and only after the answer is filed.
