In all cases, must an arbitrator keep the content of the commercial dispute they resolve confidential?
Regulations on the rights and obligations of Arbitrators in Article 21 Commercial Arbitration Law 2010 as follows:
Rights and obligations of Arbitrators
1. Accept or refuse to resolve the dispute.
2. Independence in resolving disputes.
3. Refuse to provide information related to the dispute.
4. Receive remuneration.
5. Keep the content of the dispute you resolve confidential, except in cases where information must be provided to competent state agencies according to the provisions of law.
6. Ensuring impartial, quick and timely dispute resolution.
7. Comply with professional ethics rules.
According to the above regulations, one of the obligations of an arbitrator is to keep confidential the content of the dispute he or she resolves, except in cases where information must be provided to competent state agencies according to the provisions of law.
Therefore, not in all cases the arbitrator must keep the content of the commercial dispute he or she resolves secret; the arbitrator will still disclose this secret when requested by a competent state agency permission.
