Due to the principle of relativity of contractual relations (validity inter partes), generally there is a rule that an arbitration agreement can only bind the parties to it, and not third parties. Nevertheless, it often happens in practice that the parties to arbitration proceedings are also persons who have not concluded an arbitration agreement (for example in case of surety) or who have signed the arbitration agreement on behalf of someone else (for example a legal representative on behalf of a legal entity). Such examples also occur in cases of assignment or transfer of debt and in legal succession. Moreover, situations where one party is closely related to another party or contract, and that party is not a direct party to a contract (as it is the case of concluding contracts among group of companies), should also not to be overlooked. Today, therefore, the question of whether an arbitration agreement can also bind third parties is no longer as important, as it is clear that the answer is positive; however, there is no unanimous solution regarding the conditions under which an arbitration agreement may bind (also) non-signatories. Arbitral and judicial case law is not uniform in this regard, while international and national arbitration sources mostly remain silent on this issuePrispevek obravnava subjektivni obseg arbitražnega sporazuma, ki določa, katere osebe zavezuje arbitražni sporazum. Zaradi načela relativnosti pogodbenih razmerij (veljavnost inter partes) običajno namreč velja, da arbitražni sporazum lahko veže le stranki, ki sta ga sklenili, ne pa tudi tretje osebe. Kljub temu se v praksi pogosto zgodi, da so stranke arbitražnega postopka tudi osebe, ki niso sklenile arbitražnega sporazuma (na primer poroki) ali ki so arbitražni sporazum podpisale v imenu koga drugega (na primer zakoniti zastopnik v imenu pravne osebe, pooblaščenec v imenu stranke). Takšni primeri nastanejo tudi pri cesiji ali odstopu dolga ter pri pravnem nasledstvu. Ne gre pa pozabiti primerov, ko je ena stranka tesno povezana z drugo stranko ali pogodbo, pri čemer ta stranka ni tudi neposredno pogodbena stranka (sklenitev pogodbe v primeru skupine družb). Danes zato niti ni več tako pomembno vprašanje, ali lahko arbitražni sporazum veže tudi tretje osebe, saj je jasno, da je odgovor pritrdilen; vprašanje, ki ostaja, je, pod katerimi pogoji arbitražni sporazum (lahko) veže tudi tretje osebe, saj si arbitražna in sodna praksa glede tega nista enotni, mednarodni in nacionalni arbitražni viri pa tega vprašanja večinoma niti ne urejajoTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of Slovenia
