Answer ... (a) Procedure, including evidence?
Unless the parties have agreed otherwise, the tribunal establishes the procedure by reference to one of the arbitral institutions or to another procedural law at its choice. Regardless of the chosen arbitral procedure, the tribunal has to guarantee the parties' equality and their right to participate in an adversarial trial.
As regards the evidence, according to Article 1118 of the RCPC, the arbitral tribunal has the duty of administering the evidence and assessing it in accordance to its personal beliefs.
(b) Interim relief?
As per Article 1117 of the RCPC, under the international arbitration provisions, the tribunal can order provisional and conservatory measures if one of the parties makes such a request, unless it is provided otherwise in the arbitration agreement. If the party concerned does not voluntarily obey the ordered measures, the arbitral tribunal can ask for support from the competent regular court, in which case, the latter shall apply its own law.
In addition, together with the interim relief, the arbitral tribunal or the court can also order the payment of an adequate bail.
Also, as per the 2018 Arbitration Rules of the Court for International Commercial Arbitration, when applicable, the parties may file a request for conservatory measures even before the arbitral tribunal is constituted.
(c) Parties which do not comply with its orders?
Generally, the arbitral tribunal does not have coercive powers in relation to the parties. Yet, as an example, if all parties, although legally subpoenaed, are absent from the hearing, the court is allowed to solve the dispute anyway, even in the parties' absence.
Also, as concerns the costs, the RCPC provides that the arbitral tribunal can force the parties to pay in advance any amounts needed for organizing the arbitration.
(d) Issuing partial final awards?
According to Article 1121 (4) of the RCPC, the arbitral tribunal can issue partial final awards, unless it is stated otherwise in the arbitration agreement.
(e) The remedies it can grant in a final award?
There are no special limitations on the remedies that can be granted in the final award. The arbitral tribunal can grant the same remedies as a regular court.
(f) Interest?
There are no special provisions regarding interest under the procedural arbitration legislation in Romania. Thus, matters relating to interest shall be tackled in accordance to the substantive national legislation.
