IMPACT OF THIRD PARTY FUNDING TO THE DECISION OF ARBITRATORS RELATING TO SECURITY FOR COSTS IN INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION

Abstract

Use of third party funding by the parties is getting more common in

international arbitration practice. Third party funding raises certain procedural problems such as impartiality and independence of arbitrators, confidentiality

or decision on costs. One of those procedural problems relates to security for

costs. In other words, should the arbitrators take into account the fact that one

of the parties benefit from third party funding in deciding the other party’s

request of security for costs? This study focuses on this question in the light of

doctrine and case law.

ULUSLARARASI TAHKİMDE ÜÇÜNCÜ KİŞİ FİNANSMANININ MASRAFLAR İÇİN TEMİNAT GÖSTERİLMESİ KARARININ VERİLMESİNE ETKİLERİ

Abstract

Uluslararası tahkimde üçüncü kişi finansmanı ile uygulamada giderek

daha sık karşılaşılmaktadır. Tahkimde üçüncü kişi finansmanı, başta, hakemlerin

tarafsızlığı ve bağımsızlığı olmak üzere, gizlilik, masrafların paylaşımı gibi

birçok usuli meseleye neden olur. Bu usuli meselelerden birisi de masraflar için

teminat kararı verilmesidir. Bir başka deyişle, taraflardan birinin üçüncü kişi

finansmanından yararlanmasının, diğer tarafın masraflar için teminat gösterilmesi

yönündeki talebinin hakemlerce değerlendirmesine bir etkisinin olup olmayacağıdır.

Bu çalışmada, bu mesele, doktrindeki görüşler ve hakem kararları

çerçevesinde ele alınmıştır.
