SIArb administers two scheme arbitrations - one involving the Committee for Private Education, SkillsFuture Singapore Agency (“CPE”) and the other the Council of Estate Agents (“CEA”). These are known as the SIArb – CPE Scheme Arbitration and the SIArb – CEA Scheme Arbitration. The aim of scheme arbitrations is to provide a quick and low cost dispute resolution service for lower value disputes in particular areas and industries.

SIArb is the sole provider for scheme arbitration services to CPE.  Since inception SIArb has administered 19 arbitrations under the CPE Scheme Arbitration. As yet, no cases have been filed under the SIArb - CEA scheme.

The President of SIArb appoints scheme arbitrators from the Institute’s Primary and Secondary Panel of Arbitrators, and in particular from those panel members who have indicated their willingness to accept appointments under the schemes.
