I. Procedural Background

1. On 15 June 2021, the Tribunal issued Procedural Order No. 13, which granted a 14-day extension for the filing of the Rejoinder, as requested by the Respondent.

2. On 16 June 2021, the Respondent sent a communication to the Tribunal requesting an additional 14-day extension for the filing of the Rejoinder.

3. On 17 June 2021, the Tribunal invited the Claimants to comment on the Respondent’s new request.

4. On 18 June 2021, the Claimants sent a letter to the Tribunal, objecting to the Respondent’s new request for a further extension.

II. The Tribunal’s Analysis

5. Bearing in mind the Parties’ arguments and the need to guarantee that the Parties are treated with equality, the Tribunal grants an additional one-week extension for the filing of the Rejoinder (due on 12 July 2021).

6. The Tribunal reminds the Parties that it is important that they cooperate among themselves and with the Tribunal for an efficient conduct of the arbitral proceedings. It is with this aim that the Tribunal has been flexible, treating each Party with equality and giving them a full opportunity of exercising their rights (Art. 15(1) of the UNCITRAL Rules).

III. Order

7. For the above reasons, the Tribunal grants a further one-week extension for the Respondent to file its Rejoinder, which must be filed no later than 12 July 2021. Consequently, the Procedural Calendar is adjusted as follows:
