Statement of Claim (Pleading) (ICC Rules) by OLL
Statement of Claim under the ICC Rules of Arbitration (2026), Standard track — Pleading archetype. Bare material facts only, without argument, authorities, or exhibit analysis — for a leaner claim or a compressed timetable. Same procedural framing as the memorial version, condensed.
This document comes from OLL's library of vetted legal templates.

Preliminary Notes
This Statement of Claim pleads material facts only, without argument or exhibit analysis, and is drafted for the Standard track. No Rules-level article prescribes this document's content; its content and section order follow the Procedural Order issued by the Tribunal following the initial case management conference under Article 24.
There is no elective mechanism under the Standard track for the Claimant to treat its Request for Arbitration as this Statement of Claim; they are always two distinct documents filed at two distinct procedural stages. The filing deadline is fixed by the Procedural Order; no rule-based default exists.
Expedited Procedure. The Expedited Procedure (Article 32; Appendix V) applies where the amount in dispute does not exceed the EPP Threshold Amount fixed by Appendix V, Article 1(3): US$2,000,000 (agreements concluded 1 March 2017 – 31 December 2020), US$3,000,000 (1 January 2021 – 31 May 2026), or US$4,000,000 (on or after 1 June 2026) — or where the parties agree to opt in, unless opted out or the Court considers it inappropriate (Article 1(2), (4)).
Confirm the date the arbitration agreement was concluded, and whether the Expedited Procedure applies, before relying on any procedure-specific content below.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
