A efetividade da publicidade das decisões arbitrais em matéria administrativa

Abstract

This dissertation critically analyzes the effectiveness of article 185-B of the Code of Procedure for Administrative Courts, which introduces the obligation to publicize arbitration decisions in administrative matters. Based on the interpretation of the current regime and an empirical study of the number of arbitration decisions published since the entry into force of Ordinance no. 165/2020, of July 7, it appears that the rule does not safeguard the necessary effectiveness that ensures the transparency required of a public law arbitration, nor does it allow the emergence of a consolidated administrative arbitration jurisprudence. We have therefore tried to identify the weaknesses of the current system, and, given the importance of publicizing decisions, we offer our modest contribution, highlighting some aspects to be considered in a future and necessary revision of the system for publicizing administrative arbitration decisions, with a view to strengthening its effectiveness.
