Schedule

to the Arbitration Proceedings Rules

Code of Ethical Conduct

The following Code of Ethical Conduct applies to arbitrators appointed

to the arbitrators roster. "You" means the arbitrator.

1 Impartiality and independence

You must act impartially as between the parties and independently of

the parties.

2 Fairness

You must be fair. This includes both what you do (or do not do) and

the perceptions of the parties about what you do (or do not do).

3 Respect

You must treat the parties with courtesy and respect.

4 Disclosure

You must disclose anything that is or might be seen to be bias for or

against one party or the other. This may cause you to decline an

appointment. If in doubt, disclose the doubt.

If a matter arises after arbitration proceedings start, disclose it to the

parties and

? ask the parties for their views if you are satisfied no bias or

reasonable apprehension of bias would arise. Take the views

of the parties into consideration when making your decision

about continuing in your role, and

? decide yourself if you can continue in your role as arbitrator.

5 Conflict of interest

You must avoid conflicts of interest, actual or perceived. Obvious

conflicts of interest include:

? if a family member, relation or friend is the policyholder,

? if someone you know well is a party or witness in arbitration

proceedings,

? if you are insured by one of the parties, and

? if you or someone you know stands to gain some kind of

financial or other benefit from the outcome of the arbitration

proceedings.

6 Availability

The complaint resolution process is intended to be as speedy, and

professional, as possible.

You are expected to accept only those assignments you can complete

in a competent and timely way.

7 Competence and knowledge

The issues you will be arbitrating can be complex. You will be

expected to invest your own time in understanding the legislation (Act,

regulations, and rules, and AIDR Committee processes) to have a good

grasp of the legislative and policy framework of the issues you will be

arbitrating. You should satisfy yourself that you will be sufficiently

competent and knowledgeable to undertake an appointment.

8 Integrity

You are expected to act with integrity.

9 Arbitration Act prevails

This Code is intended to supplement, not replace, any obligation or

responsibility imposed by the Arbitration Act and by other law.
