Abstract

Uvođenje novih tužbenih zahtjeva u tijeku arbitražnih postupaka predstavlja složenu ravnotežu između stranačke autonomije, pravičnosti postupka i učinkovitosti. U međunarodnoj arbitraži, ugovorna priroda arbitražnih sporazuma zahtijeva od arbitražnih sudova poštivanje proceduralnog okvira koji su stranke prethodno odabrale. Međutim, arbitražna pravila, a posebno ICC Pravila, prepoznaju potrebu za fleksibilnošću te arbitražnim sudovima daju široku diskreciju da prihvate nove tužbene zahtjeve kada su opravdani. Ključni izazov leži u osiguravanju da novi zahtjevi ne narušavaju pravo na pravično suđenje niti stvaraju nepravedne proceduralne prepreke bilo kojoj stranci.
ICC Pravila pružaju strukturirani pristup, zahtijevajući od arbitražnih sudova da procjenjuju nove zahtjeve pojedinačno, uzimajući u obzir čimbenike poput proceduralne pravičnosti, učinkovitosti i izvorne namjere stranaka. Uloga arbitražnog suda je uskladiti ta suprotstavljena načela, osiguravajući da arbitraža ostane djelotvoran mehanizam rješavanja sporova, dok istovremeno sprječava proceduralne zlouporabe. U usporedbi s drugim institucionalnim pravilima, ICC Pravila nude najdetaljniji okvir, eksplicitno regulirajući uvođenje novih zahtjeva te povezujući njihovu dopuštenost s potpisivanjem referentnog okvira ICC arbitraže - “Terms of Reference”. Dodatno, ICC Sud nadzire ovaj proces, čime se osigurava proceduralna ispravnost. Održavanjem ravnoteže između fleksibilnosti i autonomije stranaka, ICC Pravila podržavaju učinkovitost arbitražnog postupka uz zaštitu temeljnih proceduralnih prava. Ovaj rad analizira pravni okvir koji regulira uvođenje novih tužbenih zahtjeva u tijeku arbitraže, diskreciju arbitražnih sudova, te specifičan pristup ICC Pravila u usporedbi s drugim vodećim institucionalnim arbitražnim pravilima.

Abstract (english)

The introduction of new claims in pending arbitrations presents a complex balance between party autonomy, procedural fairness, and efficiency. In international arbitration, the contractual nature of arbitration agreements requires arbitral tribunals to respect the procedural framework initially chosen by the parties. However, arbitration rules, particularly the ICC Rules, recognize the need for flexibility by granting arbitral tribunals broad discretion in admitting new claims when justified. A key challenge lies in ensuring that new claims do not undermine due process or create unfair disadvantages for either party.
The ICC Rules provide a structured approach by requiring arbitral tribunals to assess new claims on a case-by-case basis, considering factors such as procedural fairness, efficiency, and the parties’ original intent. The arbitral tribunal’s role is to balance these competing considerations, ensuring that arbitration remains an effective dispute resolution mechanism while preventing procedural abuses. Compared to other institutional rules, the ICC Rules offer the most comprehensive framework, explicitly regulating the introduction of new claims and linking their admissibility to the Terms of Reference. The ICC Court also plays a supervisory role, reinforcing procedural integrity. By maintaining a balance between flexibility and party autonomy, the ICC Rules uphold the efficiency of arbitration while safeguarding fundamental procedural rights. This thesis analyzes the legal framework governing the introduction of new claims in pending arbitrations, the discretion of arbitral tribunals, and the distinct approach adopted by the ICC Rules compared to other major institutional arbitration rules.
