When is the deadline for joint designation of a sole arbitrator?

HKIAC Rules 2024 Article 7.1–7.3 provides 30 days for pre-commencement agreement; 15 days for later agreement or HKIAC decision. Parties jointly designating a sole arbitrator must establish respondent Notice receipt, later sole-arbitrator agreement, or last-party receipt of HKIAC's decision when considering this step. A proposal alone is not the universal trigger. The later institutional branch uses receipt by the last party. An agreed different nomination procedure can alter the route.
