Use when dealing with arbitration clauses or proceedings under the former DIFC-LCIA Arbitration Centre, which operated from 2008 until its dissolution under Dubai Decree 34/2021. Covers legacy cases pending under DIFC-LCIA Rules, transition to DIAC, and the distinct features of the DIFC-LCIA model (LCIA-based procedural rules combined with DIFC seat and DIFC Courts supervision). Relevant to any contract signed before 2022 containing a DIFC-LCIA clause.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Knowledge Pack — DIFC-LCIA Arbitration (Historical and Transitional)

## Scope

This pack covers the **DIFC-LCIA Arbitration Centre**, which operated as a joint venture between the Dubai International Financial Centre Authority (DIFCA) and the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) from 2008 until its dissolution in September 2021 under Dubai Decree 34/2021. It is relevant to:

- Legacy DIFC-LCIA cases filed before the 2022 transition
- Contracts signed before 2022 containing a DIFC-LCIA clause
- Understanding the rules that governed those proceedings
- Advising parties in ongoing legacy cases

For new filings from 2022 onwards, use [[kb-arbitration-diac]].

## History and dissolution

### Establishment (2008)

The DIFC-LCIA Centre was established in 2008 as a joint venture to provide international-standard arbitration within the DIFC common-law jurisdiction. It used a version of LCIA Rules adapted for the DIFC context (the DIFC-LCIA Arbitration Rules), with the DIFC as the default seat and DIFC Courts as the supervisory court.

### Dubai Decree 34/2021 (September 2021)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thomasmoreai/legal-skills-open/kb-arbitration-difc-lcia-sboghossian@sha256:7f9f9e12e92113e8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
