Corrections and Additions of an Award
Corrections and additions by the arbitral tribunal on its own initiative
The arbitral tribunal should make corrections and additions in a timely manner if it discovers any clerical, typographical, or computational errors, or any issues that have been decided in the arbitration proceeding but omitted in the award.
Time period for requesting corrections and additions
Either disputing party or any other participant in the arbitration may request additions and corrections within thirty (30) days of receipt of the award if he discovers any such errors or omitted issues in the award.
Time period for making corrections and additions at the request
After the arbitral tribunal receives a request for corrections and additions, it should promptly review the request.
If the arbitral tribunal, after a review, finds that the request is grounded in that there are errors and/or omissions in the award, it should make corrections and additions as requested within the time period specified under the arbitration rules.
Such a period for making corrections and additions is generally thirty (30) days of receipt of the request according to the provisions of most arbitration rules applicable to international arbitration in China, e.g., the arbitration rules of CIETAC, SCIA, SHIAC, etc.
Integral part
Any corrections and/or additions made by the arbitral tribunal on its own initiative or at the request of the claimant, the respondent, or any other participant, shall constitute an integral part of the award.
