Polish Supreme Court order dated 24 November 2010 (Case No. II CSK 291/10) »

1. The impermissibility of the common court’s hearing a case because of a binding arbitration clause (absent the grounds set forth in Civil Procedure Code Art. 1165 §2) also occurs when resolution of the matter presented for determination by the common court is not possible without resolving a dispute subject to the arbitration clause.

2. The principle of equality expressed in [Civil Procedure Code] Art. 1161 §2 requires ... that neither of the parties to a dispute to be decided by an arbitration court enjoy special rights in the proceeding before such court. This plainly applies to the manner in which arbitrators are selected. This is expressly stated in Art. 1169 §3, which provides that provisions of an agreement awarding one of the parties greater rights in appointment of the arbitration court shall be ineffective. This should be applied as relevant to a situation in which a provision of this type is contained in the rules of the permanent arbitration court selected by the parties.

Polish Supreme Court resolution dated 23 September 2010 (Case No. III CZP 57/10) »

1. A dispute concerning seeking a declaration of the non-existence of a legal relationship arising under an agreement because of the invalidity of the agreement may be submitted by the parties to an arbitration court for resolution (Civil Procedure Code Art. 1157).

2. The settleability of a dispute must be assessed in the abstract, apart from the concrete circumstances and legal conditions and considerations of whether a possible settlement that might be concluded by the parties would be permissible under Civil Procedure Code Art. 203 §4 in connection with Art. 223 §2, applying Civil Code Art. 917 in connection with Art. 58. … In an arbitration proceeding, the counterpart to review of the permissibility of a settlement under specific terms is the state court’s review via consideration ... of a petition [to set aside] the arbitration award or in a proceeding for recognition or enforcement of an arbitration award. ... There are no grounds for special treatment, from the point of view of the settleability of a dispute concerning a specific legal relationship, of the fact that the basis for the dispute is the defectiveness of the act creating, changing or extinguishing the legal relationship. What is relevant is not whether the issue of the defectiveness of the act, resulting in its invalidity, may be the subject of a settlement, but whether the legal relationship which the act concerns is subject to the disposition of the parties, and thus whether against the background of the relationship it is hypothetically possible to conclude a settlement.

Polish Supreme Court order dated 18 June 2010 Case No. V CSK 434/09 »

1. The ability to submit a dispute to arbitration concerns specific legal relationships in the abstract sense, not the specific claims arising thereunder (for performance, for a declaration, or to establish a legal relationship or right), which are not the subject of the arbitration clause.

2. The condition for arbitrability is the abstract ability of the parties to dispose of rights arising under the legal relationship between then, not their ability to conclude a specific judicial settlement. It is thus not relevant ... whether the parties could by their own will bring about the non-existence or invalidity of the agreement between them ... or if they could, independently or through a judicial settlement, bring about the end of the dispute arising between them.

Polish Supreme Court order dated 21 May 2010 Case No. II CSK 670/09 »

Based on a grammatical interpretation of Civil Procedure Code Art. 1157, for purposes of this provision it is essential that a given type of dispute concerning property or non-property rights may be the subject of a judicial settlement, but the issue of whether a settlement under particular terms would be permissible or not ... is irrelevant. … The condition of being capable of settlement means the abstract ability of a party to dispose of its rights (or the claims arising therefrom), not the ability for the parties to conclude a specific judicial settlement. In other words, it is irrelevant whether under the specific circumstances the parties may conclude an agreement with particular terms, as the agreement may, in an abstract sense, concern a legal relationship and rights subject to the disposition of the parties, but in its terms it might in a given instance violate applicable regulations or principles of social coexistence (Civil Code Art. 58 §§ 1 and 2). Assessment of the arbitrability of a dispute should be separated from an assessment of whether a specific settlement and the terms thereof would violate the law or whether the condition of “mutual concessions” set forth in Civil Code Art. 917 is met.

Polish Supreme Court order dated 2 December 2009 »

1. A claim for disgorgement of unjust enrichment under Unfair Competition Act Art. 18(1)(4), as a property/financial dispute [majątkowe], lies within the disposition of the parties and may be the subject of a settlement between the parties. Therefore it may also be the subject of an arbitration clause (see Civil Procedure Code Art. 1157).

2. [The arbitration clauses in the case] expressly concern disputes arising out of or related to agreements for cooperation in the sale of goods. The act of unfair competition committed by the defendant, consisting of charging additional fees, was not ... related to performance of the agreements and did not arise in connection with performance of the agreements, but was only committed while performing the agreements.... The claim asserted by it thus is not contractual in nature and is not related to the terms of the agreements concluded between the parties, but concerns an act of unfair competition committed by the defendant. It is difficult to assume that when concluding the clauses in question the parties anticipated that one of them would commit an act of unfair competition and submitted disputes in this respect for resolution by the arbitration court. It is clear from the wording of the clauses that they concern disputes connected with performance of the agreements, and not any and all disputes arising during the time of performance of the agreements.

Warsaw Appellate Court order dated 24 September 2009 Case No. I ACa 995/08 »

1. The New York Convention does not contain provisions indicating the form in which the parties should make a choice of law governing the arbitration clause. Art. V(1)[(a)] of the New York Convention does not require that the choice of law governing the arbitration clause be made in writing. The term “indication” should be interpreted to mean behaviour by a person in the form of writing, or any other behaviour that sufficiently reveals the person’s intent. Art. VI(2) of the European Convention on International Commercial Arbitration made at Geneva on 21 April 1961 uses the term “indication” without specifying the form, and thus “indication” should be interpreted as any behaviour by the parties indicating their joint intent.

2. It is not possible to conclude a settlement where, based on the nature of the disputed legal relations, the parties cannot freely dispose of the rights. Thus the appellate court holds that a dispute over the effectiveness of an agreement on sale of shares in a limited-liability company is not arbitrable.

3. The plaintiff determines who is a party when it initiates a dispute. The attribute of being a party is purely formal in nature and is not tied to the existence of a substantive legal claim, nor does it determine the jurisdiction of the arbitration court to decide the merits of the case. In a case where the arbitration court finds that it lacks jurisdiction over a “party,” it cannot be inferred that the ruling on the merits of the dispute is binding on that party. The party was not a party to the dispute on the merits because the arbitration court did not have jurisdiction over it.

4. Assessment of procedural acts of the parties in an arbitration proceeding lies within the power of the arbitration court, and a court ruling on recognition of an award may not make assessments contrary to that of the arbitration court, or assessments under the Polish Civil Procedure Code, which was not applicable in the proceeding before the arbitration court.

5. The state court is bound by the ruling of the arbitration court concerning its lack of jurisdiction to resolve specific disputes, regardless of whether the arbitration court’s interpretation of the scope of the arbitration clause was correct or not. It is clear that the arbitration court is authorized to rule on its own jurisdiction.

6. In order to decide on its jurisdiction, the arbitration court must consider the grounds for or against its jurisdiction. This cannot mean, however, that in cases in which the same issues are decisive of both the jurisdiction of the arbitration and the resolution on the merits the authority to resolve the issue of jurisdiction is also authority to decide the merits of the dispute. Otherwise the party would de facto be deprived of the ability to effectively assert the defence of lack of jurisdiction on the part of the arbitration court.

7. None of the provisions of law providing the arbitration court the authority to decide on its jurisdiction and analyze all factual and legal issues necessary to perform this task provides it a priori authority to decide the merits of the case. If the jurisdictional determination is negative, the arbitration court must refrain from deciding the merits of case. Review of the merits in such instance serves only as a basis for the jurisdictional ruling.

8. It is impermissible that res judicata effect of a ruling by the arbitration court would exert effects in Poland with respect to persons not covered by the legal finality of such ruling in the country of origin.

Polish Supreme Court resolution dated 7 May 2009 Case No. III CZP 13/09 »

1. Civil Procedure Code Art. 1163 §1 does not contain a specific rule In relation to Art. 1157 with respect to the requirement that disputes to be submitted for resolution by an arbitration court be capable of serving as the subject of a judicial settlement.

2. The two provisions govern wholly different matters. Civil Procedure Code Art. 1157 sets forth the bounds of arbitrability of a dispute, providing that the fundamental criterion for arbitrability ... is fitness for settlement of the dispute. Civil Procedure Code Art. 1163 §1 ... only provides, however, that an arbitration clause may be included in the articles of association (or statute) of a commercial companies and that it is then binding on the company and its shareholders.

3. The purpose of Civil Procedure Code Art. 1163 §1 is not to govern the grounds for arbitrability of corporate disputes. This is evident from the fact that Civil Procedure Code Art. 1163 §1 does not set the conditions that would have to met by a corporate dispute in order to be arbitrable.

4. A specific regulation in relation to Civil Procedure Code Art. 1157 could only be a provision governing (differently) arbitrability of a dispute.

Supreme Court resolution dated 24 February 2005 (Case No. III CZP 86/04) »

1. The defence of an arbitration clause concerning the legal relationship between the issuer of a promissory note and the payee is also effective with respect to the issuer of the promissory note when, alongside the issuer of the note, the guarantor of the promissory note, who was not a party to the agreement submitting the dispute for resolution by the arbitration court, is also a defendant.

2. A promissory note obligation may be subject to an arbitration clause.

3. The effect of shifting the dispute onto the general ground of civil law, meaning that the resolution of the dispute requires assessment of the justification of the claim in light of the “underlying relationship” in connection with which the promissory note was issued, does not occur by the mere fact of filing defences to the order for payment. This effect depends on whether the interested party takes the relevant actions, and the court has no duty to act in this respect on its own initiative. The actions taken by the party may consist of the defendant’s assertion of defences to an order for payment with respect to the lack of grounds for the claim pursued based on the underlying relationship, or the plaintiff’s assertion, in the statement of claim or in the proceeding conducted as a result of assertion of defences to the order for payment, of allegations justifying the claim asserted also on the basis of the underlying relationship.

4. In the event of lack of actions by the parties causing the dispute to be shifted to the general ground of civil law, the dispute in the proceeding conducted pursuant to the defences against the order for payment is subject to consideration under the promissory note relationship.

5. A promissory note guarantor may defend against the holder of the note with all defences available to the person for whom he issued the guarantee, but this applies only to substantive defences (Art. 32 of the Promissory Note Law dated 28 April 1936, Journal of Laws Dz.U. 1936 No. 37 item 282), but the defence of an arbitration clause is a procedural defence. Without being a party to the agreement ... containing the arbitration clause, the defendant cannot assert the arbitration clause.

6. Civil Procedure Code Art. 72 §3 cannot be interpreted as a provision that changes the consequences of the lack of procedural grounds, and specifically as eliminating the effectiveness of an arbitration clause. If the clause is effective with respect to one substantive co-party, of any type, but is not effective with respect to the other co-party, the case with respect to the first co-party cannot be considered at all by the state court, and the statement of claim in this respect is subject to dismissal; however, with respect to the other co-party, the case is subject by consideration by the state court.

Art. 1 of the Convention on Arbitration of Civil Disputes Arising Out of Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation, made at Moscow on 25 May 1972 and ratified inter alia by Poland and the Soviet Union, promulgated at Journal of Laws Dz.U. 1974 No. 7 item 37, applies in the case of any dispute between economic organizations arising out of a civil-law relationship, if the dispute arose during the course of economic, scientific or technical cooperation between states participating in the convention, and thus regardless of whether such cooperation occurred between the economic organizations involved in the dispute.

Polish Supreme Court order dated 7 March 1979 Case No. III CRN 10/79 »

1. Which cases that are subject to consideration by the state courts may be submitted to arbitration is determined by the regulations governing arbitration proceedings.

2. Issuance of an enforcement clause must be preceded by a legally final ruling by the state court, pursuant to Civil Procedure Code Art. 711, confirming the enforceability of the arbitration award.

3. The only cases falling under the non-adversarial procedure that may be heard by an arbitration court are those rather rare cases whose nature allows for this, that is, those that meet the grounds [for arbitrability] provided in Civil Procedure Code Art. 697 §1.

4. Under current law, adversarial and non-adversarial proceedings are parallel tracks for judicial proceedings, and the non-adversarial procedure in property matters in which the court commences the proceeding upon application is not so different from the rules applicable in an adversarial proceeding that mere submission of a given matter to resolution through the non-adversarial procedure results in exclusion of the possibility of submitting such matter to an arbitration court for resolution.

Polish Supreme Court ruling dated 10/16 December 1953 Case No. II C 316/53 »

1. In the system of the People’s Democratic State, where protection of social property is one of the overriding duties of citizens, contractual provisions which submit final resolution of disputes concerning property rights of the State Treasury to the discretion of other actors than the courts or other institutions appointed to do so by law cannot be regarded as permissible and valid.

2. A clause appointing an arbitration court whose erroneous ruling on the relief sought by the parties may be set aside pursuant to a petition to set aside an arbitration award only if the award is unintelligible or inconsistent, exceeds the bounds of the submission, or by its substance violates the rule of law or principles of social coexistence in the People’s Democratic State (Civil Procedure Code Art. 510 §1(4)), may cause a diminution of social assets if the arbitration court in issuing its ruling is not guided by governing law, and more specifically by regulations of substantive law. Therefore, submission of such a dispute to an arbitration court for resolution cannot be reconciled with due protection of state property, for which the authorities of the State are appointed.
