商事仲裁保密性探析

保密性是仲裁的显著优势,但是,由于当前立法规定的缺失及司法实践的冲突,仲裁保密性的法律地位并不明确。仲裁保密性与仲裁的不公开性不同,当事人不应认为仲裁庭审的不公开即意味着相关仲裁信息的保密。另外,保密性作为一项默示义务并非绝对,而是存在例外的。为确实实现仲裁的保密性,可以通过在仲裁立法、仲裁规则和仲裁协议中规定或约定保密义务来实现。

A Probe on the Confidentiality of Commercial Arbitration

Confidentiality is the obvious priority of arbitration.However,due to the absence of current legislative prescription and the conflicts in judicial practice,the legal status of confidentiality of arbitration is undefined.Confidentiality of arbitration is different from non-public of arbitration.The persons concerned shall not regard the arbitration trial in camera as the confidentiality of relevant arbitration information.In addition,confidentiality as an implied obligation is not absolute and there are exceptions.Confidentiality shall be prescribed or appointed in arbitrative legislation,regulation and agreement in order to really realize the confidentiality of arbitration.
