arbitration proceedings
This must mean 'the summons to arbitration', but can anyone please tell me what the 'proffessional' term is? Gullberg hints at 'writ', but Google doesn't seem to show an appropriate phrase under 'arbitration writ'.
Advice appreciated!

notice of arbitration
cf. arbitration reference/ref. to arb.
*Witness* summons is UK in a crim. trial. Sub-poena is, in the UK, of witnesses only and in a civil trial.
Gullberg unfortunately is misguided. An arb. does not rely on writs as it happens out of court.
In case of reference to arbitration, it is proposed that the following text be ... Name of the other party against whom arbitration reference is made, ...
*NOTICE OF ARBITRATION. Dear Respondent:. AN ARBITRATION CLAIM HAS BEEN FILED AGAINST YOU. Enclosed and served upon you is the Initial Claim. ...*
*Witness* summons is UK in a crim. trial. Sub-poena is, in the UK, of witnesses only and in a civil trial.

complaint
Påkallelseskriften skall innehålla:
parternas och deras ombuds namn, adress, telefon- och faxnummer,
sammanfattande redogörelse för tvisten,
preliminär uppgift om kärandens yrkanden,
kopia av skiljeavtalet, och
i förekommande fall namn, adress, telefon- och faxnummer till av käranden utsedd skiljeman. (Den här punkten gäller inte det förenklade förfarandet där skiljemannen utses av Institutet.)
I translated this definition (found on the site provided with this answer) and asked an American lawyer (actually, my mother) and this is the answer I received:
"We'd call it a complaint. A writ of summons is a very short paper that a lawyer would file if s/he doesn't have time to do a complaint, or if the statute of limitations is running out and s/he wants to get something filed, since it's a form without any information, just a notice to the court and the opponent that a complaint is coming. The complaint would have all the information you list."
There is the word "stämning" which presumably means "writ of summons". If it were my translation, I would still do more research to find the difference between the two Swedish terms before choosing one in English.

Not that it matters now, but a subpoena is a something that a lawyer uses and presents to a person to either obtain documents for a case or to require them to appear in court, which does not resemble the definition of påkallelse. Specifically, according to Black's Law Dictionary, a subpoena is "A process to cause a witness to appear and give testimony, commanding him to lay aside all pretenses and excuses, and appear before a court or magistrate therein named at a time therein mentioned to testify for the party named under a penalty therein mentioned."
After a Google search "subpoena på svenska," in no time I found what is usually used in Swedish for this word - "stämning" - also found a document that explains there is no equivalent word for "subpoena" in Swedish. They use also just "subpoena" in Swedish. See: pg 17, 2nd para under "Begrepp och språk" http://theses.lub.lu.se/archive/2004/07/05/1089014726-25535-...
also fourth line of pg. 20 - you will see the word "subpoena" and also a footnote at the bottom of the page.
It's just my opinion, but I strongly feel that "subpoena" is not the correct term for "påkallelseskrift," be it American or British law.

: arbitration complaint (AE) is right for the US: www.sacrealtor.org/documents/arbitration.pdf. Arb. request in BE/UK, albeit doesn't get across the summonsing sense.
