Separability of Arbitration Clause and Its Application in China

仲裁条款独立性理论认为,仲裁条款是从属于商事合同(主合同)的一项争议解决条款,具有相对独立性,其有效性不受主合同有效性的影响。它虽是在仲裁实践中产生的,却蕴含着对当事人意愿的尊重、对仲裁协议法律属性的清醒认识。

Acurding to the theory of Separability of Arbitration Clause, arbitration clause is a dispute-resolution-clause subordinatied to commercial contract, it is independent. The effect of arbitration clause is not related to main contract. The theory of Separability of Arbitration Clause comes from arbitration practice; it contains the respect to the parties; will and a clear understanding of the arbitration agreement＇s nature.
