Initiate NAI proceedings

Introduction | How do I commence NAI proceedings?

You initiate NAI proceedings by submitting a request to the NAI Secretariat. A request can be submitted online by following the steps below. In addition, it remains possible to submit a request by e-mail (secretariaat@nai.nl).

Step 1 | Fill in an NAI request form

The NAI has prepared standard PDF application forms for submitting applications. By using these forms, you can be sure that the application meets the requirements laid down for it. You can download the PDF forms from the links below.

	Dutch	English
Arbitration	Arbitrageaanvraag bodemprocedure-formulier Aanvraag arbitraal kort geding-formulier	Request for arbitration on the merits form Request for emergency arbitration form
Mediation	Mediationaanvraag formulier	Request for mediation form
Binding advice	Bindendadviesaanvraag formulier Benoeming van een bindend adviseur formulier	Binding advice form Appointment of a binding advisor form

It is also possible to prepare an arbitration application in Word and then convert it to PDF. Ensure the application meets the requirements of the relevant NAI Rules (see, for example, Article 8 of the NAI Arbitration Rules).

Step 2 | Submit an online application on the NAI arbitration platform

You can submit an online application using the button below. You are requested to upload the following documents:

• the application (this can be the NAI application form above or a self-prepared application)

• the agreement referring to the NAI, e.g. an arbitration agreement

• any other productions accompanying the application in line with NAI guidelines for file format

Submit an application online on the NAI arbitration platform.
