101. The arbitrator determines the procedure for the conduct of the arbitration. It may be conducted in writing, by telephone conference call, or in person or using 2 or more such methods. In all cases, the arbitrator gives preference to the procedure that is the most practical and the least likely to generate costs. The arbitrator must, however, see that the adversarial principle and the principle of proportionality are observed.
Where arbitration takes place in person, witnesses are called, heard and indemnified according to the rules applicable to a trial before a court.
