Proceedings before the Chamber Clause Samples

Proceedings before the Chamber. 1. The Chamber shall develop fair and effective procedures for the adjudication of appli- cations. Such procedures shall provide for appropriate written pleadings and, on the decision of the Chamber, a hearing for oral argument or the presentation of evi- dence. The Chamber shall have the power to order provisional measures, to appoint experts, and to compel the production of witnesses and evidence. 2. The Chamber shall normally sit in panels of seven, composed of two members from the Federation, one from the Republika Srpska, and four who are not citizens of Bos- nia and Herzegovina or any neighboring state. When an application is decided by a panel, the full Chamber may decide, upon motion of a party to the case or the Om- budsman, to review the decision; such review may include the taking of additional evidence where the Chamber so decides. References in this Annex to the Chamber shall include, as appropriate, the Panel, except that the power to develop general rules, regulations and procedures is vested in the Chamber as a whole. 3. Except in exceptional circumstances in accordance with rules, hearings of the Cham- ber shall be held in public. 4. Applicants may be represented in proceedings by attorneys or other representatives of their choice, but shall also be personally present unless excused by the Chamber on account of hardship, impossibility, or other good cause. 5. The Parties undertake to provide all relevant information to, and to cooperate fully with, the Chamber.
