       1.The parties shall be notified of the time and place of a hearing by

shall be set by the arbitral tribunal with consideration of particular circumstances.
       §24. Challenge to Arbitrator, Expert, or Interpreter
       1.Each party shall be entitled, to challenge an arbitrator, the chairman of the
arbitral tribunal, or a sole arbitrator, if there are circumstances giving rise to justifi-
able doubts as to their impartiality or independence, particularly if it can be sup-
posed that they are personally, directly or indirectly interested in the outcome of the
proceedings. The request of challenge may also be submitted in case when an arbi-
trator does not have the qualifications stipulated in the parties' agreement.
       The party shall submit its written request of challenge containing the mo-
tives thereof not later than 15 days after he has come to know that the arbitral
tribunal has been formed, or after the party has found out about any circum-
stances which may be a ground for the challenge. Such request submitted subse-
quently shall be considered only if the arbitral tribunal finds the delay justified.
       2.The question of challenge shall be decided by other members of
the arbitral tribunal. If they fail to come to an agreement, or if two
arbitrators or a sole arbitrator are challenged, the question of challenge shall be
decided by the Presidium of the ICAC.
