Law Applicable to the Merits of the Dispute in Arbitration

U ovome radu dotaknut ćemo se temeljnih pitanja vezanih za arbitražu s posebnim naglaskom na pravo mjerodavno za bit spora. Samom radu pristupilo se gradacijski uz prikaz aktualnih zakonskih rješenja Zakona o arbitraži te srodnih mu međunarodnih konvencija. Polazilo se od samog određivanja pojma arbitraže, načelima na kojim se temelji, nužnih uvjeta arbitrabilnosti koji se moraju ispuniti da bi do arbitraže došlo. Središnji dio rada usredotočen je na definiranje mjerodavnog prava i njegovih pojavnih oblika, a u tome dijelu najviše se bavi mjerodavnim pravom za bit spora te izazovima koji se mogu pojaviti kroz načine odabira mjerodavnog prava za bit spora. Na kraju samoga rada upoznajemo se sa ograničenjima koja stoje na putu određivanja mjerodavnog prava te važnosti njegova odabira.In this work, we will delve into fundamental questions related to arbitration with a special emphasis on the law applicable to the meritum of the dispute.
