The Law Governing the Validity of Arbitration Agreements

Main Article Content

Sixto Sánchez Lorenzo

Abstract

Based on the premise of separability of the contract and the arbitration agreement, this article deals with the determination of the law applicable to the validity of arbitration agreements in cross-border transactions. A distinction is made between formal validity and substantial validity. Divergences among national legislations and institutional regulations are also highlighted. Finally, the sphere of application of the law governing both formal and substantial validity is delimited.
