从“效率至上”到“契约自由”——基于合并仲裁评当代仲裁价值取向之变迁

From"Efficiency Prioritization"to"Party Autonomy"——The Evolution of the Value of Arbitration as Reflected in Modern Consolidated Arbitration Practices

晚近以来,合并仲裁越来越频繁出现。合并仲裁给仲裁体制带来的最大的法理危机,便是其引发了当代仲裁的两个主要价值取向与内在特征——追求争端解决效率与尊重当事人意思自治之间的冲突与矛盾。通过对合并仲裁的必要性、实现途径以及法理缺陷等相关问题进行细致研究,且结合晚近国际层面关于合并仲裁立法与实践可以看出,尽管合并仲裁有助于提高争端解决效率,但国际仲裁界似乎更强调对当事人意思自治的尊重。
