PL

Artykuł ma charakter naukowo-badawczy, a jego celem jest przede wszystkim określenie prawnego charakteru, źródeł regulacji i głównych cech prawa regulującego postępowanie w międzynarodowym arbitrażu handlowym. Problematyka ta jest analizowana poprzez badanie odpowiednich postanowień aktów międzynarodowych, przepisów prawa krajowego i regulaminów postępowania arbitrażowego czołowych stałych instytucji arbitrażowych. Przyjmuje się, że zastosowane prawo procesowe można rozumieć jako pojedynczy system prawny tylko w pewnym kontekście, w szczególności odwołującym się do zasad proceduralnych lex arbitri. Autorzy uzasadniają również stanowisko, zgodnie z którym – w najszerszym sensie – prawo stosowane w postępowaniu arbitrażowym należy rozumieć jako państwowe prawo procesowe o swoistym charakterze prawnym i określonym celu, wybrane przez strony lub określone przez sąd arbitrażowy lub inny uprawniony organ, przy czym zwykle jest to prawo właściwe ze względu na miejsce arbitrażu (lex arbitri) oraz przepisy proceduralne uzgodnione przez strony poprzez wskazanie w klauzuli arbitrażowej regulaminu postępowania danej instytucji arbitrażowej lub innych podobnych przepisów.

The article is of a scientific research nature and its main goal is to determine the legal nature, sources of regulation and key features of the law, governing the procedure in international commercial arbitration. The issue is analyzed through investigation of relevant provisions of international documents, national laws on arbitration and arbitration rules of leading permanent institutions.
