The number of third party funded dispute resolution cases at SCC 和 other arbitration institutes around the world increases every year. In the aftermath of the p和emic, this way of financing arbitration might become more common. 仍然是一个不受监管的领域, 这引发了几个有趣的法律问题, 法律顾问纳塔莉亚Petrik说.
Third party funding refers to the situation where the arbitration or litigation costs of a disputing party are covered not by the party itself but by someone who is not party to the proceedings. Such financing might be provided on a pro bono basis or as an investment, in return for remuneration. 取决于和派对的安排, 资助人可以支付诉讼费用, 比如律师费和专家费, 制度的进步, 和其他成本. Funders normally expect return on their investment 和 因此 have interest in the outcome of the dispute. 纳塔莉亚Petrik, 最高法院法律顾问, gives us an overview of the experiences of third-party funding at the SCC, 和 comments on the trend in financing alternative dispute resolution in general.
目前是否有使用第三方资金的趋势? 是的, judging by the SCC’s caseload the number of cases where the parties disclose their funders increase every year, 一般来说，这种现象已经不再新鲜. There is reason to believe that in the aftermath of the p和emic, this way of financing arbitration might become more frequently used by parties.One of the first SCC cases where the claimants were financed by a third party was filed in 2007. The tribunal had to deal with – at the time an unusual matter – of recoverability of the costs paid by the funder on behalf of the claimants. In 2020, at least six of the international cases involved a third party funder. 其中一项是资助者资助被调查者. On a separate note, the providers of financing encounter disputes too. Last year the SCC administered an expedited arbitration with a legal finance provider as a party.
Are there any legal aspects to consider when there is a third party funder involved? 第三方融资是一个不受监管的领域, 因此, 这引发了许多有趣的法律问题. 成本的可收回性就是其中之一. Another one is whether it constitutes ground for an order to pay security on costs. 从制度的角度来看, it is important to safeguard the impartiality 和 independence of the arbitral proceedings. 当运行冲突检查, 一个潜在的e世博苹果员, 作为一个规则, 无法确定融资程序的实体. 因此, in 2019 the SCC adopted a policy encouraging the parties to disclose any third party with a significant interest in the outcome of the dispute, 包括资助者, 母公司, 最终受益所有人.
什么类型的案件 通常是由第三方提供资金吗? Most of the SCC cases that I mentioned had claims over 100 million euro. 其中一些涉及投资者与国家之间的e世博苹果. With the exception for one case, legal funding was provided to claimants, rather than to respondents. 在大多数情况下, 另一方要求为费用订单提供担保, 将第三方资金作为理由之一. 然而, tribunals tended to reject such requests if other grounds were not sufficient to grant the security for costs.
