Arbitration as Alternative Method of Resolving Commercial Disputes

Predmet ovog diplomsko rada jeste arbitraža kao izvansudski postupak kojim stranke rješavaju svoje sporove proizišle iz ugovornih i izvanugovornih odnosa. Rad se temelji na Zakonu o arbitraži kao nacionalnom kodificiranom aktu koji uređuje domaću arbitražu, tj. onu koja ima sjedište na teritoriju Republike Hrvatske. Obzirom na to da su stranke slobodne u izboru mjerodavnog kako procesnog tako i materijalnog prava, naglašavaju se najvažnije razlike u normiranju pojedinih instituta i procesnih pravila u odnosu na međunarodnopravne izvore arbitražnog prava. Iako je Zakon o arbitraži na snazi nešto manje od 16 godina i dalje postoje velika razmimoilaženja glede tumačenja pojedinih odredbi što dovodi i do konfuzije glede osnovnih obilježja arbitraže, npr. mogućnost ulaganja pravnih lijekova, kako u javnosti tako i među pravnim stručnjacima. Iz tog je razloga posebna pažnja posvećena tim pitanjima oslanjajući se na tumačenje pravnih teoretičara i praksu Ustavnog suda koji, mogli bi slobodno reći revolucionarnim stavovima, dovodi u pitanje neovisnost arbitraže u odnosu na nacionalni pravni poredak.The subject of this diploma work is arbitration as an out-of-court procedure whereby the parties resolve their disputes arising out of contractual and extraterritorial relations. The work is based on the Act on Arbitration as a nationally codified act regulating domestic arbitration, that is, the one based on the territory of the Republic of Croatia. Given that the parties are free in the choice of both procedural and substantive law, the most important differences in the standardization of individual institutes and procedural rules are emphasized in relation to international legal sources of arbitral law. Although the Arbitration Act is in force for less than 16 years, there is still considerable disagreement over the interpretation of certain provisions, leading to confusion about the basic features of arbitration, such as the possibility of investing in remedies, both in the public and among legal professionals. For this reason special attention is devoted to these issues, relying on the interpretation of the legal theorists and the practice of the Supreme court, which could freely say revolutionary attitudes, questions the independence of arbitration in relation to the national legal order
