ČÁST PRVNÍ

Arbitration

An arbitrator may be a citizen of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic who has the necessary expertise for the decision of a particular economic dispute (1) (hereinafter referred to as "the dispute ') and provides a guarantee with his characteristics that the arbitrator's activities will be carried out in accordance with the social interests; the arbitrator cannot be a state arbitrator.
§ 2
(1) The Organisation shall elect an arbitrator by written agreement.
(2) An organisation which has received a proposal for a dispute and a decision of a dispute proposed by an arbitrator is required to notify in writing, within 10 days of receipt of the proposal, all other participating organisations of its consent to the proposal for a dispute by the arbitrator and to the person proposed as arbitrator, or to communicate in writing his own proposal to the arbitrator or to the manner in which the dispute is removed.
(3) The dispute may be referred to the arbitrator for consideration and decision only if all the participating organisations have agreed in writing to discuss and decide the dispute between the arbitrator and the arbitrator's person and that the arbitrator has given written consent to the choice (the arbitrator chosen).

The application shall include the name of the organisation which submitted it and the organisation against which the application is directed (the defendant), the name of the subject-matter of the dispute, the facts and the evidence on which it is based, as well as the proposal as to be decided. The request shall also be accompanied by all documents necessary for the proper examination and decision of the dispute. It shall simultaneously send the same copy to all other participating organisations. If the request for consideration and the decision of the dispute is not sufficient, or if the necessary documents are not attached to it, the arbitrator shall invite the applicant to remove the affected defects within a time limit which he shall at the same time advise him that his unfounded non-compliance may be considered as serious grounds for which the arbitrator cannot rule (Paragraph 11 (1), first sentence).

(3) The submission of an application to an arbitrator shall have the same legal effects as the submission of an application for economic arbitrary.2)

In its observations, it shall give its opinion on the request, indicate the facts and evidence to which it refers, attach the necessary documents and a proposal on how the dispute is to be decided. Unfounded and undeclared non-compliance with those time limits may be considered as serious grounds for which an arbitrator cannot rule (Paragraph 11 (1), first sentence).
§ 4
(1) Unless otherwise assessed by the organisation concerned with the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall discuss the dispute in a place determined by the arbitrator, which shall normally be the registered office of the defendant and, if more than one, the registered office of any of them.

§ 11
(1) If, for serious reasons, an arbitrator is unable to decide a dispute (e.g. if, after the opening of proceedings, the arbitrator finds that he is not entitled to decide, for reasons of a longer journey of the arbitrator abroad, his longer illness, the absence of a participating organisation without an apology and justification, or to a second designated hearing, the organisation's disagreement to extend the dispute), he shall forward it without undue delay to the competent authority of the economic arbitrage, which he shall at the same time inform the organisations concerned in writing. For those reasons, or in cases where the arbitrator does not proceed in dispute without serious reasons, any of the participating organisations may also request the competent authority of the economic arbitrage to rule the dispute.
(2) The legal effects of submitting an application by the arbitrators remain,
(a) if the dispute is brought before the arbitrator himself, or
(b) if any of the participating organisations referred to in paragraph 1 requests economic arbitrage on the decision of the dispute.
(3) In cases where a dispute brought before an arbitrator by an economic arbitrage authority is decided, it shall also decide on the costs referred to in Paragraph 10 (3).
