With its first arbitration case registered in 1984, CRCICA’s caseload has expanded exponentially reaching over 1600 registered arbitration cases, whether institutional or ad hoc, covering the full spectrum of commercial and economic activities on local, regional and international levels.
For the years 2012 to 2021, CRCICA registered 743 cases: 646 institutional cases (i.e. 87%) and 97 ad hoc proceedings (i.e. 13%).
