Free arbitration deadline calculator

HKIAC arbitration deadline calculator

Time limits under the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre rules, encoded from the rules themselves with the citation, period, trigger and roll-over treatment for each. Pick a seat in the calculator below to compute a due date on that seat's real weekend and public-holiday calendar.

Completed, server-recomputed calculations can be retained as PDF or Professional matter records. Advisory and verification-required results remain explicitly provisional and cannot automatically enter a calendar. Source guides and known incorrect results cannot be purchased. Verify every result against the cited current institution rules, the applicable seat law and the facts of the matter.
