Arbitrability and arbitral
subject matter
Arbitrability, - the situation that whether
the dispute under the arbitration
agreement could be settled by
arbitration or not.
The 1958 New York Convention states
as follows: “each contracting state
shall recognize an agreement in
writing under which the parties
undertake to submit to arbitration all or
any difference which have arisen or
which may arise between them in
respect of a defined legal relationship,
whether contractual or not, concerning
a subject matter capable of settlement
by arbitration.”
“recognition and enforcement of an
arbitral award may also be refused if
the competent authority in the country
where recognition and enforcement is
sought finds that:
1) the subject matter of the difference is
not capable of settlement by
arbitration under the law of that
country, or
2) the recognition or enforcement of the
ward would be contrary to the public
policy of that country.”

According to Article 1 (3) of the
UNCITRAL Model Law, an arbitration

agreement have, at the time of the
conclusion of that agreement, their
places of business in different States;
or
b) one of the following places is
situated outside the State in which the
parties have their place of business:
i) the place of arbitration if
determined in, or pursuant to, the
arbitration agreement;
ii) any place where a substantial
part of the obligations of the
commercial relationship is to be
performed or the place with which the
subject matter of the dispute is most
closely connected;
or
c) the parties have expressly
agreed that the subject matter of the
arbitration agreement relates to more
than one country."
