Abstract

Arbitraža je metoda rješavanja sporova u kojoj stranke dobrovoljno predaju svoje sporove trećoj nepristranoj osobi, arbitru. To je alternativa sudskom postupku, razvijena zbog nedostataka u državnim sudovima, kao što su sporost, visoki troškovi i nesigurnost. Analiza trajanja pokazuje da su arbitražni postupci obično kraći od sudskih, ali postoji varijabilnost ovisno o instituciji i jurisdikciji. Ugovor o arbitraži predstavlja osnovu za provedbu arbitražnog postupka. Najčešće pitanje koje se pojavljuje pri tumačenju međunarodnih arbitražnih sporazuma odnosi se na "obuhvat" sporazuma, odnosno na koje kategorije sporova strane pristaju arbitrirati. U praksi, arbitražni sporazumi se tumače tako da se ostvari namjera stranaka, a opća načela tumačenja ugovora primjenjuju se kako bi se utvrdila stvarna i zajednička namjera stranaka. Važno je istaknuti da se tumačenje arbitražnih sporazuma obično temelji na namjerama stranaka i njihovoj stvarnoj volji, uzimajući u obzir specifičnosti svakog sporazuma. Osim toga, izbor primjenjivog prava za tumačenje arbitražnog sporazuma također igra važnu ulogu, a pravila za općenito tumačenje ugovora često se primjenjuju ako strane nisu drugačije dogovorile. . Strane u međunarodnim arbitražnim sporazumima imaju slobodu da izaberu koje pravo će upravljati njihovim sporazumom, uključujući pravo koje će se primjenjivati na tumačenje sporazuma.
U hrvatskom pravu, primjenjuju se određeni zakoni i pravila koja reguliraju pitanje primjenjivog prava u arbitražnim sporazumima, ali u osnovi se poštuje izbor stranaka u vezi s primjenjivim pravom za tumačenje sporazuma.

Abstract (english)

Arbitration is a method of dispute resolution in which parties voluntarily submit their disputes to a third impartial person, an arbitrator. It is an alternative to the judicial process, developed due to shortcomings in state courts, such as slowness, high costs, and uncertainty. An analysis of the duration shows that arbitration proceedings are typically shorter than court proceedings, but there is variability depending on the institution and jurisdiction. An arbitration agreement forms the basis for conducting arbitration proceedings. The most common issue that arises in the interpretation of international arbitration agreements concerns the "scope" of the agreement, that is, which categories of disputes the parties agree to arbitrate. In practice, arbitration agreements are interpreted to fulfill the parties' intentions, and general principles of contract interpretation are applied to determine the actual and common intent of the parties. It's important to emphasize that the interpretation of arbitration agreements usually relies on the parties' intentions and their actual will, taking into account the specifics of each agreement. Furthermore, the choice of applicable law for interpreting the arbitration agreement also plays a significant role, and the general rules for contract interpretation are often applied if the parties have not agreed otherwise. In international arbitration agreements, parties have the freedom to choose which law will govern their agreement, including the law that will apply to the interpretation of the agreement.

In Croatian law, certain laws and regulations govern the issue of applicable law in arbitration agreements, but, in essence, the parties' choice regarding the applicable law for interpreting the agreement is respected.
