《仲裁法》修改背景下仲裁员披露义务制度研究——以我国法院撤销仲裁裁决实证研究为视角

由于目前《中华人民共和国仲裁法》对于仲裁员披露义务规定的缺失,我国法院关于仲裁员披露义务相关制度的司法审查实践存在着“同案不同判”、法律适用分歧、披露义务标准不明等问题。此次《中华人民共和国仲裁法(修订)(征求意见稿)》明确规定了仲裁员的披露义务,本文通过梳理法律规范与司法实践中披露义务制度所面临的现实困境,建议我国在将披露义务法定化的基础上采纳客观披露标准,即当可能产生合理怀疑的“任何事实或情况”出现时,被选定或被指定的仲裁员应当进行披露。同时建议加强仲裁员的准入标准,放宽披露标准,结合仲裁机构的监督和干预,降低披露标准对于仲裁程序的公正性所产生的影响。

Due to the lack of provisions on arbitrators’disclosure obligations in the Arbitration Law,the current judicial review practice of arbitrators’disclosure obligations by Chinese courts has problems such as“different judgments in the same case”,differences in the application of laws,and unclear standards of disclosure obligations.The revision of the Arbitration Law clearly stipulates the disclosure obligations of arbitrators.This dissertation,by sorting out the practical difficulties faced by the disclosure obligation system in legal norms and judicial practice,proposes that China adopt objective disclosure standards on the basis of legalizing disclosure obligations.That is,the selected or appointed arbitrator should disclose“any facts or circumstances that may give rise to reasonable doubts as to the arbitrator’s impartiality and independence”.At the same time,it is recommended to concentrate more on the qualifications of arbitrators before appointment,and under the supervision and intervention of arbitration institutions,to reduce the impact of disclosure standards on the fairness of arbitration procedures.
