  1. These directions contain the Tribunal’s decisions on the Claimant’s applications for document production orders submitted on 14 August 2017. In reaching its Decision the Tribunal has considered the Claimant’s grounds for requests, the Respondents objections and comments and the Claimants’ replies, as well as, the letter of the Claimant dated 25 August 2017 and the Respondent’s reply thereto of 29 August 2017.
  2. In this Procedural Order,
    1. The term “document” means documents whether in hard copies or any by electronic means containing the information or data directed to be disclosed and not to any meaning or definition as ascribed by the Parties in their Requests;
    2. The documents ordered to be produced are made following the sequence of the requests made by the Parties. In the case that documents which have been directed to be produced fall within more than one request made, the respective party may comply with its obligation by identifying the location within the bundles of disclosed documents, without need for further production of the same document;
    3. The term “Order to Produce” without qualification means that the respective party shall (unless disclosure had earlier been made in this Arbitration) make such disclosure requested of it as set out in the second column;
    4. Subject to (h) below, where an Order to Produce is made with limitations, the obligation of the respective party is limited to the qualification specified;
    5. Where an Order to Produce is made “as agreed”, production is limited to the documents earlier agreed to be disclosed by the producing party;
    6. If any document(s) ordered to be produced in this Procedural Order had earlier been disclosed in this Arbitration, the respective party may comply with its obligation by identifying the same to the other without need for further production;
    7. Subject to (h) below, the term “No Order” means that the respective party has no obligation to produce. This does not however absolve any party whose burden it is to substantiate its claims and assertions with evidence sufficient to discharge such burden of proof; and

[Page 3]

  1. Notwithstanding the Tribunal’s ruling of “No Order” or “Order to Produce" made with limitations, the respective party shall honour any offer already made to make disclosure of any other documents which it believes to be responsive to the requests.
  1. If the respective party is unable to produce a document so ordered, it (by an individual with primary responsibility for the instruction, coordination and supervision of the search for relevant documents) shall affirm an affidavit deposing to the reasons why the documents so ordered to be produced are not able to be disclosed. If appropriate, the affidavit should also state what searches were made and by whom and, in relation to any documents or categories of documents which are said never to have existed or, if they existed, cannot now be identified or found, give a full explanation of what documents within the categories sought are likely to have been brought into existence, what systems were in place for the retention and recovery of documents, and why documents which may have existed can no longer be found.
  2. To facilitate easy identification and subsequent reference, a party producing documents is encouraged to prepare an index of any or all documents produced, and identify said documents that relate to the other party’s application for document production, in hard and electronic forms, searchable, paginated and tabulated.
  3. The costs leading to rulings made herein shall be deferred for later consideration or determined together with the award to be made in this arbitration.
  4. According to the revised schedule in Procedural Order No. 4, the deadline for production of documents (voluntary and as ordered by the Tribunal) is 2 October 2017.
