17.4If，before an award/interim award is made，the parties agree on a settlement of the dispute，the Arbitrator shall either issue an order for termination of the arbitration or，if requested by both parties and accepted by the Arbitrator，record the settlement in the form of a consent award。The Arbitrator shall then be discharged and the reference to arbitration concluded，subject to payment by the parties of all outstanding fees and expenses of the Arbitrator and the HKIAC。
17.5The time limit within which the Arbitrator must render a final Award under these Rules is six months from the date the Arbitrator is appointed。The Secretary General or his designate may extend this time limit pursuant to a reasoned request from the Arbitrator or on its own initiative if he decides it is necessary to do so。
17.6An original of each Award made in accordance within these Rules shall be deposited with the HKIAC。
