Public law in international commercial arbitration involving state

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the issue of application of public law in international commercial arbitration involving states. The main purpose of the author was to determine whether arbitrators may apply or take into account both public law rules of the legis contractus and of the third state. The author considered a possibility of application of public national and international law. Another purpose of the paper was to analyse whether acts of state should be treated as legal norms or facts. At the beginning the author paid attention on the distinction between the process of application and taking into account of public law. Subsequently, analysis focused on a possibility of application of public law being part of legis contractus. Afterwards, the author deliberated whether public law rules of a third state may be applied as overriding mandatory rules. Lastly, it was considered whether public law and especially acts of state could be qualified as facts. The author came to the conclusion that under certain circumstances arbitrators may apply or take into account both public law rules being part of legis contractus and those of third states’ legal systems and of public international law.
