The diploma thesis deals with domestic arbitration proceedings in the Czech Republic. The topic has been chosen by the author because the arbitration could have a big potential as it is a mechanism which is well adaptable to individual needs of parties. During last few years it has became evident that the arbitration is being abused by some subjects and the substantive law protection of some subject is circumvented by arbitration. Thus, the reputation of arbitration has been damaged. The aim of the thesis is to examine eventual limits of application of domestic arbitration, the possibilities of abusing it and law tools aiming to protect against the abusing. In the introduction the author's opinion is introduced stating why the domestic arbitration is different from international arbitration. The author notes that the traditional mechanism of domestic dispute resolution is court proceedings. The same could not be said about international dispute resolution. Furthermore, the author argues that in international relations there is applied wider autonomy of will of the parties than in domestic relations. Also the bodies acting in international arbitration have significantly better reputation and credibility. There are also not differences between various law orders in domestic relations and the consumer...

Prior to such a diploma, only arbitral commitments would set the arbitral tribunal. This manuscript reports on the analysis of the arbitration clause and the arbitral commitment, i.e., species of the arbitral agreement, through which parties solve their disputes according to the arbitral jurisdiction. The arbitrability of the litigation will be analyzed, so that a possible arbitration agreement can be established in some branches of Law. The manuscript also addresses the transmission, extension and extinction of the arbitration agreement / A Lei de Arbitragem (Lei nº9.307/1996) trouxe importantes inovações ao instituto, o que impulsionou sua utilização como forma de resolução de controvérsias. Antes do advento desse diploma, somente o compromisso arbitral teria o condão de instituir o juízo arbitral. O presente trabalho analisa a cláusula compromissória e o compromisso arbitral, espécies da convenção de arbitragem, forma pela qual as partes exercem a sua opção de solucionar suas divergências perante a jurisdição arbitral. Será analisada a arbitrabilidade do litígio de modo a constatar a possibilidade ou não de se firmar convenção de arbitragem em alguns ramos do direito. O estudo aborda, também, a transmissão, a extensão e extinção da convenção de arbitragem

In the course of an arbitration proceeding, there are various obligation relationships established between the parties, arbitration center and the arbitrators, as well as several legal transactions are formed, with its unique requirements. Examples of the contractual relationship formed on arbitration are the arbitration clause, the term of reference, the term which the parties choose and invest jurisdictional powers to the arbitrator sand the contracting of an institutional center to administrate the arbitration proceeding. Each of these contractual relationships have their own characteristics and shall observe the requirements established in articles 104 and 425 of the Brazilian Civil Code. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the contractual relationships, as well as the requirements each of these legal transactions of the arbitration shall have to be existent, valid and effective / A arbitragem é intimamente relacionada ao Direito Civil, eis que a sua gênese, a convenção de arbitragem, meio pelo qual as partes optam pela jurisdição arbitral para resolução de conflitos, tem estreita relação com o direito privado, razão pela qual deve observar certos requisitos atinentes aos negócios jurídicos. Ao longo de um procedimento arbitral, diversas são as relações obrigacionais estabelecidas entre as partes, órgão institucional e árbitros, da mesma forma que diversos negócios jurídicos são formados, com características próprias. Exemplos disso são a própria convenção de arbitragem, em suas formas de cláusula compromissória e compromisso arbitral, o termo de arbitragem, o ato pela qual as partes escolhem e investem poderes jurisdicionais nos árbitros e a contratação de órgão institucional para administração do procedimento arbitral. Não se pode negar que cada uma das citadas relações jurídicas privadas tem suas características próprias e devem observar os requisitos dispostos nos artigos 104 e 425 do Código Civil. Desta forma, o presente trabalho visa examinar esses vínculos contratuais, assim como os requisitos que cada um desses negócios jurídicos da arbitragem deve ter para ser existente, válido e eficaz

I tysk rätt har Bundesgerichtshof sedan länge slagit fast att både en ny och kvarstående part är skiljebundna efter singularsuccession. Skiljebundenhet för den nya parten vid Abtretung (borgenärsbyte) baseras på § 404 Bürgeliches Gesetzbuch (BGB) som anger att en ny part inte kan få bättre rätt än den överlåtande parten. Den kvarstående partens bundenhet stöds på en analogi av § 401 BGB som innebär att sidorättigheter som är kopplade till ett avtal går över på en ny part vid singularsuccession. Undantag till skiljebundenheten föreligger om en avvikande partsvilja kan påvisas. Högsta domstolen uttalade i NJA 1997 s. 866 att skiljebundenhet ska föreligga för både ny och kvarstående part efter singularsuccession. Den nya partens bundenhet grundas på att den kvarstående parten inte ska få sin rätt försämrad genom en överlåtelse som denne inte har kunnat motsätta sig samt 27 § lagen (1936:81) om skuldebrev. Skiljebundenheten för den kvarstående parten motiverades med att denne annars skulle kunna spekulera i valet av tvisteform. En haltande bundenhet ansågs oskäligt av domstolen som slog fast att bundenhet skulle föreligga om inga ”särskilda omständigheter” kunde påvisas. ”Särskilda omständigheter” omfattar enligt doktrin antingen den nya partens oförmåga att stå kostnaderna i ett skiljeförfarande eller att skiljeavtalet har slutits på grund av en stark personlig anknytning mellan de ursprungliga parterna. Betalningsoförmåga bör inte ses som en ”särskild omständighet” eftersom situationen likväl kan uppkomma utan att succession har skett. Om betalningsoförmåga ska vara ett undantag till skiljebundenhet så bör det vara ett generellt undantag som inte förutsätter succession. Undantaget för ett nära förhållande mellan de ursprungliga parterna bör ändras till att istället motsvara det tyska undantaget om avvikande partsvilja. På så vis kan en stark personlig anknytning fortfarande utgöra ett undantag till skiljebundenhet men undantaget blir mer flexibelt. I propositionen till lag (1999:116) om skiljeförfarande framförde regeringen att skiljebundenhet vid singularsuccession borde regleras av rättstillämpningen eftersom det inte skulle vara möjligt att införa en lagregel som täckte alla tänkbara situationer vilket tyder på att ett flexibelt undantag behövs. Undantag till skiljebundenhet vid singularsuccession bör också utvidgas till att omfatta en ny part för att undvika en haltande möjlighet till undantag. Om en haltande bundenhet anses oskälig torde en haltande möjlighet till undantag också vara det. Undantaget till skiljebundenhet i svensk rätt är i behov av både förändring och förtydligande.Vad

Šiame magistro baigiamajame darbe analizuojamos valstybės kaip ginčo šalies tarptautiniame komerciniame arbitraže lemiamos teorinės ir praktinės problemos tiriant tarptautinio komercinio arbitražo, arbitražo šalių bei valstybės kaip ginčo šalies tarptautiniame komerciniame arbitraže sampratas. Taip pat analizuojamas galimas įpareigojimų sukūrimas, arbitražinio susitarimo nesudariusioms šalims, valstybės imuniteto tarptautiniame komerciniame arbitraže klausimai bei kiti arbitražo proceso, kuomet viena ginčo šalių - valstybė - ypatumai.

The analysis of the concept of international commercial arbitration shows that in author’s opinion the concept of international commercial arbitration determined in the Law of Commercial Arbitration of the Republic of Lithuania should be revised. Also the conclusion should be done that the problem of the content of the ‘state’ concept is existing in both – practical and theoretical levels. As the practice regarding this question is not well-established, after the analysis of the existing theories the application of the mixed theory of the concept of the ‘state’ is suggested. Moreover in this master thesis the possibility to bind the non-signatories to arbitration agreement and questions of the immunity of a state in international commercial arbitration are analysed. Those institutes are raising a number of practical problems as on the one hand the threat to bind the non-signatory of the arbitration agreement arises and on another hand the possibility that the award of the arbitral tribunal will not be recognized and/or enforced exists. It is suggested to solve both problems by including special terms into the agreement by which the arbitration agreement is concluded with a state – i. e. it is suggested for the parties clearly to indicate in the agreement the persons that shall...

The dissertation focuses on a legal analysis of the most problematic legal issues predetermined by the fact that the State is a party to the arbitration agreement. The dissertation thesis consists of two sections. Firstly, the issue whether the State and legal persons of public law have a right to enter into an arbitration agreement is analysed. The dissertation provides information about trends of legal regulation in various countries and analyses how restrictions of the right to enter into arbitration agreement are applied and qualified in court and arbitration practice as well as by legal scholars. Also, the dissertation thesis takes into consideration relatively new legal representations of international commercial arbitration described by Professor E. Gaillard and their impact on the application of the abovementioned restrictions. In addition, the rationale of the restrictions is questioned in the dissertation. Secondly, the analysis was carried out of State immunity issue in the context of international commercial arbitration: the argumentation of the conclusion that the State does not enjoy immunity in arbitration proceedings is analysed as well as its legal impact on application of State immunity rules in court proceedings related to arbitration and in execution process (when it is sought to apply the measures of constraint against the property of the State in order to secure the execution of a future arbitral award or in order to enforce an arbitration award). / Disertacijoje nagrinėjami du pagrindiniai probleminiai klausimai, kurie dažniausiai pasireiškia arbitraže, kurio viena šalių yra valstybė ar viešosios teisės juridinis asmuo. Disertaciją sudaro du skyriai, iš kurių pirmame yra analizuojamas valstybės bei viešosios teisės juridinių asmenų teisės sudaryti arbitražinį susitarimą problematika, analizuojamos šio klausimo reglamentavimo įvairių pasaulio valstybių įstatymuose tendencijos bei valstybės ir viešosios teisės juridinių asmenų teisės sudaryti arbitražinius susitarimus apribojimų vertinimas teismų bei arbitražo praktikoje bei doktrinoje. Kartu pirmojoje disertacijos dalyje yra pateikiama galima naujai prancūzų profesoriaus E. Gaillard išskirtų požiūrių į tarptautinį komercinį arbitražą įtaka nagrinėjam klausimui, įvertinamas valstybės bei viešosios teisės juridinių asmenų teisės sudaryti arbitražinius susitarimus pagrįstumas. Antroji disertacijos dalis yra skirta valstybės imuniteto klausimams arbitražo kontekste: analizuojama argumentacija, kuri pagrindžia išvadą, jog valstybė neturi imuniteto arbitraže ir atitinkamai šios išvados įtaka valstybės imuniteto taikymui teismo procesuose, susijusiuose su arbitražu, o taip pat ir valstybės turto imuniteto taikymui, kai yra siekiama suvaržyti valstybės turtą, užtikrinant būsimo arbitražo sprendimo vykdymą ar vykdant arbitražo sprendimą.
