3.      Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the arbitral tribunal shall have the authority, upon the application of a party, to order any claiming or counter-claiming party to provide security for the legal or other costs upon such terms as the arbitral tribunal considers appropriate. The location of a party's residence is not itself reason for the arbitral tribunal to order security for legal or other costs.

4.      In the event that a party does not comply with any order to provide security under (1) or (3), the arbitral tribunal may stay that party's claims or counterclaims or dismiss them in an award.

5.      An order under (1) or (3) may be established in the form of an interim award and, where it is so established, shall be considered an arbitral award.

6.      Except in relation to security for costs, the parties agree it is not the intention of these Rules to preclude a party from seeking interim relief from a court or other competent judicial authority either before the arbitral tribunal has been constituted or, in exceptional circumstances, thereafter. Any such application and any order made shall be communicated to the arbitral tribunal and all other parties as soon as possible.
