Paragraph 6 Miscellaneous powers of Panel
Subject to the provisions of these Rules, a Panel may regulate its own procedure.
A Panel may, if it thinks fit—
extend the time appointed by these Rules for presenting a written statement notwithstanding that the time appointed may have expired;
postpone the day or time fixed for, or adjourn, any hearing;
where there are pending 2 or more requests for arbitration and, either upon the application of any party or on its own motion, it appears to a Panel that some common question of law arises in both or all the requests for arbitration, then the Panel may order that some or all of the requests for arbitration shall be considered together, and may give such consequential directions as may be necessary: provided that before exercising this power notice shall have been sent to all parties concerned giving them an opportunity to show cause why such an order should not be made.
