«Императивные» правила арбитражного регламента: договорно-правовой подход

Закон. 2026. № 6. С. 38–50.

Kostsov V.

The author examines the problem of the so-called „mandatory“ rules of arbitration rules through the prism of the classical contract law approach to the relations arising in the context of arbitration proceedings. An arbitration agreement cannot be considered „invalid“ in whole or in part if its terms contradict „mandatory“ provisions of the arbitration rules, since the arbitration rules are not an act of supreme legal force. The starting point for the analysis should be that arbitration rules constitute a public offer made by the arbitration institution to administer the arbitration, which the parties accept upon initiating the arbitration. If the parties’ arbitration agreement contains terms that differ from the „mandatory“ provisions of an institution’s arbitration rules, the arbitration institution may refuse to administer the arbitration. However, once the arbitration proceedings have begun, the arbitration agreement takes precedence over the arbitration rules, unless a contrary conclusion follows from the interpretation of the arbitration agreement under the rules of contract law.
