摘要
自2016年年底国际投资争端解决中心启动的投资者与国家争端解决机制的改革已历经3年之久,这次以致力于提升争议解决效率并实现国家与投资者间利益平衡的改革,涉及包括第三方资助仲裁、仲裁费用担保等多个领域。第三方资助作为实现当事人通往正义之路的重要举措,由于不受仲裁庭管辖权限制,所产生的程序性问题增强了仲裁程序的不可预测性,其中就包括第三方资助之于仲裁费用担保申请的相关性和权重的问题。尤其是在国际投资仲裁领域,第三方资助所要维护的被资助方参与仲裁的权利和费用担保所可能遏制仲裁诉请的效果之间的冲突则愈发明显。本文则在分析介绍《ICSID仲裁规则(草案)》关于费用担保条款修订的基础上,结合国际投资仲裁领域的实践案例,来回答第三方资助仲裁在费用担保申请中的地位以及其之于费用担保授予标准的相关性。
It has been around 3 years since the reform on investorstate dispute resolution mechanism was initiated by the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes in 2016.This reform aims at improving dispute resolution efficiency and balancing interests between state and investors and concerns many fields including thirdparty funding,security for arbitration costs and so on.Procedural issues raised by third-party funding viewed as a critical measure for parties to get access to justice further strengthen uncertainty of arbitral proceedings due to the limited power of arbitral tribunal,including relevance of third-party funding to security for arbitration costs and its weight in the process of making decisions.The conflict between the right of the funded party to get access to arbitration protected by third-party funding and the effect that security for arbitration costs may suppress parties’claims of arbitration is becoming increasingly distinct.This article is to answer the role of third-party funding in application for security for arbitration costs and its relevance to the granting of a security for costs order,based upon introducing Proposals for Amendment of the ICSID Rules and analyzing cases in international investment arbitration.
