Da problemática das arbitragens complexas

Abstract

Litigation (judicial, public) is less frequent3 – however, the use of arbitration as an alternative dispute resolution, whether in commercial, administrative or tax matters, is increasingly common4. For this reason, I consider the subject and the study of complex arbitrations is a significant matter essentially for two reasons: on the one hand, because it is a topic of great practical relevance and, on the other hand, because arbitrations are less often the typical case of A vs. B. The motivations for this dissertation arise from the (personal) need to study and deepen the various issues related to complex arbitrations, such as the plurality of parties in arbitrations, the intervention of third parties and, in particular, the extension of arbitral interim measures to non-signatories of the arbitration agreement. These issues should be based on the basic rule that, although complex arbitrations are increasingly complex, the foundation of any arbitration is A vs. B. It is therefore important to analyse the main substantive and procedural legal problems facing the parties and arbitrators in this type of arbitration.
