Article 17 Disclosure of Arbitrators

When a person is approached in connection with his or her possible appointment as an arbitrator, he or she shall disclose any circumstances likely to give rise to justifiable doubts as to his or her impartiality or independence. An arbitrator, from the time of his or her appointment and throughout the arbitration, shall without delay disclose any such circumstances to PDRCI, the parties, and the other arbitrators, unless they were previously informed or were aware of such circumstances.
