Polish Supreme Court resolution dated 8 September 2011 Case No. III CZP 41/11 »

1. An interlocutory appeal will lie against an order by the state court, as the court of first instance, denying a motion to challenge an arbitrator.

2. The issue of the independence and impartiality of the arbitrator goes to the essence of the arbitration proceeding as a non-judicial procedure for resolving private legal disputes.

3. Impartiality is a certain intellectual attitude, a psychological state of an objective judge (or arbitrator). In opposition to this, partiality is a characteristic connected with a real or apparent biased attitude of the decision-maker in favour of one of the parties or with respect to the issues in dispute.

4. It is asserted in the literature that “independence” refers only to issues arising out of a relationship between the judge (or arbitrator) and one of the parties. Independence means the lack of any relationship between the arbitrator and the parties to the dispute, in the past or during the course of the proceeding, that could affect the substance of the decision.

5. If the deadline indicated in Civil Procedure Code Art. 1176 passes without effect, the party obtains a right to apply to the state court (within two weeks) to recuse the arbitrator.

6. The proceeding before the state court is conducted on the basis of the Civil Procedure Code. Thus the issue of the permissibility of an interlocutory appeal against the order of the state court denying the motion to recuse the arbitrator should be considered on the basis of application of Civil Procedure Code Art. 394 §1 as relevant.

Polish Supreme Court order dated 14 July 1998 Case No. III CKN 548/98 »

1. Submission of a dispute for resolution by an arbitration court does not definitively exclude the jurisdiction of the state court. The proceeding before the arbitration court constitutes only a fragment of the entire system of protection of the interests of the claimant.

2. The position that a proceeding before the state court, initiated by filing of a motion for interim relief to secure a claim which will be pursued before the arbitration court, becomes an independent case within the meaning of Civil Procedure Code Art. 392 §1 is indefensible. Such proceeding remains a proceeding in which only a certain incidental issue is resolved. The ruling that is issued does not end the proceeding “in the case” even though it ends the proceeding initiated by the motion for interim relief. Only the arbitration award will be a ruling ending the case as a certain entirety submitted for judgment. An interim order issued by the state court concerning security for the claim is a ruling that resolves only an incidental issue.

Polish Supreme Court order dated 24 February 1998 Case No. I CKN 455/97 »

By permitting in a separate regulation (Civil Procedure Code Art. 701 §3) an interlocutory appeal against an order concerning, among other things, appointment of an arbitrator, the Parliament clearly let it be known that it does not treat them as ending the proceeding in the matter, as then the general rule set forth at the beginning of Civil Procedure Code Art. 394 §1 would apply.

Polish Supreme Court order dated 22 January 1997 Case No. I CKN 48/96 »

1. Because Part 1, Chapter 3 of the Civil Procedure Code, covering the issue of arbitration, does not contain a special regulation on admissibility and deadlines for appellate instruments, the regulations from Chapter 1 will apply as relevant, including among them Civil Procedure Code Art. 392.

2. An order of the province court denying an interlocutory appeal from an order of the district court concerning appointment of an arbitrator and presiding arbitrator may not be regarded as an order ending the proceedings in the case. From the point of view of the proceedings before the state court, the case is ended only by an order ending the proceeding on the petition to set aside the arbitration award (Civil Procedure Code Art. 715), or, as the case may be, an order dismissing the statement of claim because of the existence of an arbitration clause (Civil Procedure Code Art. 199 §1(4)).

Polish Supreme Court order dated 18 February 1993 Case No. I CRN 6/93 »

1. The provisions of Civil Procedure Code Part II concerning interim relief to secure a claim are applicable in a case with a “foreign element”. ... The existence of domestic jurisdiction for the proceeding on the merits is not a necessary condition for the proceeding seeking interim relief.

2. Pursuant to Civil Procedure Code Art. 734, when issuing an interim order prior to commencement of the proceeding in the case, the court will set a deadline by which the case shall be commenced or the security will lapse. Following the doctrine, in considering the matter the Supreme Court took the view that filing a claim before a foreign arbitration court before such deadline meets the conditions of this provision.

Warsaw Appellate Court order dated 6 July 1926 Case No. IC N 89/26 »

This provision [former Civil Procedure Law Art. 1370¹] that consideration of claims referred to in Civil Procedure Law Art. 1370 shall lie with the court which would have jurisdiction in the event of a judicial dispute should be understood as reiterating the general rule with respect to jurisdiction of the court depending on the amount sought by the plaintiff.
