La facultad enmendatoria arbitral (The Power of the Arbitrator to Amend the Award)

subject

description

Spanish Abstract: La facultad enmendatoria de los arbitros se justifica en el equilibrio que debe concurrir entre el principio general de inalterabilidad de los laudos arbitrales –seguridad juridica- y la eficiencia de un modelo asentado igualmente en la idea de “justicia”, que permita enjugar y reparar por decision arbitral, de forma agil y sencilla, aquellos defectos o fallos evitables, consiguiendose la tutela arbitral adecuada y pretendida evitandose, con ello, la accion judicial de anulacion que, en tantas ocasiones, convierte en inoperante el sistema arbitral. En ese equilibrio entre la invariabilidad de las decisiones arbitrales y la posible variabilidad restringida a los contenidos estrictamente marcados por la ley es donde se debe ubicar la facultad enmendatoria que se regula en el articulo 39 de la Ley espanola de Arbitraje. English Abstract: The power of the arbitrators to amend the arbitration award is justified in the balance that must concur between the general principle of inalterability of the arbitration awards - legal security - and the efficiency of a model also based on the idea of “justice”. This power allows to modify and repair by arbitral decision, in an agile and simple way, those defects or rulings. And avoiding by this way the prospective judicial action of annulment that, in so many occasions, makes the arbitration system inoperative. In that balance between the invariability of the arbitration decisions and the possible variability restricted to the contents strictly set forth by the law is where the amending power that is regulated in article 39 of the Spanish Arbitration Law must be located.
