Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kb-arbitration-difc-lcia-sboghossian scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 19d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Knowledge Pack — DIFC-LCIA Arbitration (Historical and Transitional)

Scope

This pack covers the DIFC-LCIA Arbitration Centre, which operated as a joint venture between the Dubai International Financial Centre Authority (DIFCA) and the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) from 2008 until its dissolution in September 2021 under Dubai Decree 34/2021. It is relevant to:

  • Legacy DIFC-LCIA cases filed before the 2022 transition
  • Contracts signed before 2022 containing a DIFC-LCIA clause
  • Understanding the rules that governed those proceedings
  • Advising parties in ongoing legacy cases

For new filings from 2022 onwards, use [[kb-arbitration-diac]].


History and dissolution

Establishment (2008)

The DIFC-LCIA Centre was established in 2008 as a joint venture to provide international-standard arbitration within the DIFC common-law jurisdiction. It used a version of LCIA Rules adapted for the DIFC context (the DIFC-LCIA Arbitration Rules), with the DIFC as the default seat and DIFC Courts as the supervisory court.

Dubai Decree 34/2021 (September 2021)

Dubai Decree 34/2021 dissolved the DIFC-LCIA Arbitration Centre and the Emirates Maritime Arbitration Centre (EMAC). All pending DIFC-LCIA cases were transferred to DIAC for administration, with the DIFC-LCIA Rules continuing to govern those legacy cases to their conclusion. New cases filed from 2022 use DIAC Rules 2022.


DIFC-LCIA Rules — key features (for legacy cases)

Basis

The DIFC-LCIA Rules were closely modelled on the LCIA Arbitration Rules (2014 version) with modifications for the DIFC context.

Default seat

DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre). DIFC Courts were the supervisory court.

Procedural highlights

  • Tribunal constitution: LCIA Court nominates arbitrators unless parties agree otherwise
  • Emergency arbitrator: available
  • Multi-party proceedings: joinder and consolidation permitted
  • Expedited formation: available for urgent matters
  • Electronic submissions: encouraged
  • Costs: LCIA-style hourly rates for arbitrators (different from DIAC's scale)

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
