This article explores the insights into arbitration from the Supreme Courts around the world. It analyses the recurrent arbitration-related issues arising in the Supreme Courts’ practice in fifteen jurisdictions from Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia as reported in the contributions published in a special issue of b-Arbitra 2019/2 marking the 50th anniversary of the CEPANI. More specifically, the article investigates perspectives of the Supreme Courts on the issues of the agreement to arbitrate, impecuniosity, competence- competence, court intervention during arbitration, and court control of procedural fairness and public policy post-award. Further to the investigation, the article concludes that while a broad consensus exists among most jurisdictions on basic characteristics of the legal regime for arbitration, the approach to particular aspects of many arbitration-related issues examined in this article remains mostly jurisdiction-specific. |
