The parties may submit with their statements all documents they consider to be relevant or may add a reference to the documents or other evidence they will submit.
(2)Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, either party may amend or supplement his claim or defence during the course of the arbitral proceedings, unless the arbitral tribunal considers it inappropriate to allow such amendment having regard to the delay in making it.

the claimants fails to communicate his statement of claim in accordance with article 23(1), the arbitral tribunal shall terminate the proceedings;
the respondent fails to communicate his statement of defence in accordance with article 23(1), the arbitral tribunal shall continue the proceedings without treating such failure in itself as an admission of the claimant’s allegations;
any party fails to appear at a hearing or to produce documentary evidence, the arbitral tribunal may continue the proceedings and make the award on the evidence before it.
(1)Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the arbitral tribunal:
(a)may appoint one or more experts to report to it on specific issues to be determined by the arbitral tribunal;

The arbitral tribunal or a party with the approval of the arbitral tribunal may request from the Court of Session or the sheriff court assistance in taking evidence and recovering documents. The court may execute the request within its competence and according to its rules on taking evidence and recovery of documents.
